For calling home, use the Global One card. You can get it in Post offices. Buy the month bus card. At Nytorv, opposite the Salling for 245 danish krones.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was an ok place and it was perfect to meet others, a very social place, the Kollegium! So if you come alone I would definately recomend it. Also very close to the main university!

It is a rather new building with a big common area in the middle with common kitchen. There is a TV room, possibility to wash clothes with a special card you have to buy. You have a room in a freezer. There are lots of parties going on!
