Aarhus Universitet (AAU)

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.

“I was a great exchage experience. I travelled around the country by train and by car, and I could visit Germany as well. I like danish people, they are helpful and they try to solve problems inmediately. I really think denamar is a fantastic country to life there. I didn't think about visiting Denmark before my Erasmus experience, but I suggest everybody to visit this small but fantastic country.” Read Review

Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because my room was 8 kms. from the centre of Aarhus, so if I came back, I would prefer live in the centre.
Personal comments:
Housing was good, because the host university looked for it so I wasn't worried about it.

When I was in Aarhus, I liked to go out on tuesday to the exchange students meeting at Studenterhus. Exchange students usually went out on friday to the social club, and we did a lot of parties at home. There are a lot of cafes in aarhus to take some drinks and they organize activities like quiz.

Yes, I wanted to improve my English
Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
Personal comments:
In Language and communication, I hadn't any problem because danish people speak english fluently, and they don't have problem to interact with you in it. I try to learn danish to buy some things at supermarket, some adresses or days of the week and numbers. But It is not necessary to speak danish to live in Denmark , in fact, there are a lot of foreign people there.
