Most of the students split up in groups with their friends and buy either a bus or a van so they can drive around every night to all the parties and russ gatherings in Norway. But the buses and vans are not ordinary, they get painted in different colors and have different themes.

It’s the buses that draws the most attention because they have unique designs and layouts, not to mention the interior with bar chairs, sofas, LCD flat screens and awesome lightning, it’s like entering a night club.

The students use a lot of money on these buses, up to $25 000 per person, but the average is $5000. Some of the buses have huge speakers either inside the bus or on the roof, so you can hear them and feel how the ground is shaking when a russ bus drives by your neighborhood. During the russ celebration the students are driving around in their buses and vans and partying all day and night long, and after the celebration the vehicles are sold to other students that will be russ so they can paint it over again in their own way for the next year. In other countries like Holland there are no cool buses, instead they have scary advertisements.
