Det Norske Studentersamfund ("The student society of Norway") is Norway's oldest student society. Established in 1813 in Oslo, it has been the centre of debate, culture and politics for over 200 years. Studentersamfundet resides at Chateau Neuf, opened in 1973, where it runs a couple of cafes and a cinema. Studentersamfundet frequently arrange debates, lectures and concerts. Most of the activity at Chateau Neuf is generated by volunteers. People signing up for the many different jobs at hand; booking bands, running the bars, arranging debates, rigging the PA for concerts among some of the jobs at hand. Studentersamfundet also hosts it own theater- and musicgroups.

History
