Personal comments

One of the most popular places is defenitely Studenter Huset! Every Wednesday it is open for an International Night where all the international students are having their social get together. One of my favourite places in Aalborg is an Art House cinema called Biffen. Best cafe is defenitely KloserTorvet, the one that provides with best snacks for the cheapest price.

The Danish language is difficult to learn, but the everyday environment helps to make a progress. As for English, almost 90% of the population speaks it fluently, so there is no problem with that at all
