Most people wouldn't be able to take more than one, not only because of the incredible work load, but also because lectures would clash, forcing students to choose which course to follow on a day-to-day basis.
Example: A girl in my class is taking pedagogy at the same time as her Master's degree in literacy studies. Because we only have lectures twice a week (Mondays and Tuesdays), this is barely managable, however you can't take 2 undergraduate courses, say English and French, simultaneously, as both courses have lectures Monday-Thursday.
I'm assuming "class" means something else than "course." I just can't figure out what exactly :)

Let me get this straight: You take one course at a time. You are taking classes for a graduate degree (masters or doctoral). I'm assuming you work a close to full time job while taking one course?
Comparing undergrad to graduate can be like comparing apples to oranges. Undergrad is done (the vast majority of the time) as a full time student. Grad work can be done both ways: full time student or 'night classes' (not always occuring 'at night') until degree requirements are met.
I'm assuming you are getting your grad degree by taking "night classes." I could be completely off base, I'd love to understand what the grad/undergrad system is in Norway.
