University of Aarhus, Paludan Müllersvej 17, 8000 Aarhus, Denmark
3.99 / 5 based on 126 reviews.
Description:
In the years just before the end of World War I plans were made for the founding of a university in Jutland. Many forces in Aarhus (from trade and industry, organizations and institutions, even the city council) fought to have the university situated in Aarhus, and it was here in 1928 that the "University Studies in Jutland" came into being.

Why? My current dorm is in the suburbs and the area isn't particularly safe
Personal comments:
Depends on where you'll end up at. There're big differences between the individual housing facilities ... some are brilliant, some suck big time.

Overall
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment
Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
I liked a lot downtown Aahrus because it seemed an small village and all the shops, pubs and bars were toghether, so it was always very lively. I especially loved the atmosphere of the places, very warm and cosy. My best cafe was, without any doubts, "Baresso". It was a chain all over Denmark and they prepared really good coffees. My best night spot? "Undermasken", it was just amazing. The best places to visit in Aarhus are a small harbour called Marselisborg and the old town, called "Den gamle by".

I strongly recommend two of the courses i did. One of them is called "the radio documentary". It's a very practical course and I really learnt a lot. The teacher was also very good.

Personal spending habits:
I think it was the currency problem.I sually have a certain budget and I know the prices of what I need to buy and it is ok.But in Denmark ,I had to convert Kronas in Euros and prices are different ,so in the beginning it was very dammaging for my budget.I also payed a higher rent that in Paris.
Food, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Travel: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
IN the beginning I left with very little cash because I thought it would be easier to get it transferred via my bank.In fact ,it was a very slow procedure and I ran out of money the first two weeks in Aarhus

FINAL COMMENTS

My stay in Aahurs was positive in all the ways. I travelled through Denmark and also through Scandinavia with the scanrail because it's cheaper. Denmark is an expensive country so students going there must be aware of that and get information about the best places where to buy the basic things, like food or academic stuff. And Denmark is also a cold country! so students should bring warm clothes and be prepared for the winter. The good thing of that is that all the places are very well prepared for the cold abd the heating is high. The best way for travelling around Denmark is by train. There is a card that students can get by paying some mone, but they get the 50% of discount in all the trips they do in a year. I really recommend that card.
