Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? Appartments are perfect to meet other international students, the danes often tend to keep to themselves, so fellow erasmus students are the ones wholl end up being your mates.

Personal comments:
Overall great- good location- on the metroline at finsensvej 10mins into the centre, u can easily cycle it asell. Rooms have everything at your fingertips- kitchen, shower, internet and are a decent size- this could make the place feel a bit diconnected sometimes(ie.communal kitches give a community vibe) but it wasnt too big a deal. Plenty of shops on the street. we were lucky to hav basketball courts. good sized hall aswell for hangin out and messy parties. The only drawback was the strictness of the landlords- I think its a danish thing- they take personal offence to rowdiness or uncleanliness, although their tantrums were always quite amusing!

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment

Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Personal comments:
Great sweaty student drinking nite in the Studenthouse on the main street- run by students(make sure u get your name down)in exchange for free drink. Fantastic. The hippy commune Christianias perect for a 'hazy day' while the bar Loppen in there has great live music. Stengade30 has live reggae on a sunday also great for a legally enjoyable hazy nite. Dont forget u can drink on the streets no problem so take advantages(Nyhaven or the parks are perfect in spring/summer) Vega/rust then are the huge clubs to go to at the weekend- dont bother with anything else

Course recommendations:
The course Intercultural Management is very nice. It required a lot of interaction with the teacher. Then there is the course International Advertising. This one is very interesting as well; we had a famous teacher (John Philip Jones) A drawback was that the course was not very organized.

Personal comments:
They use a different type of exams in a lot of courses. Here they often use, oral exams; I have never had that experience at my home university. It was a bit scary at first sight. However, there is a positive atmosphere at these oral exams.

Language of instruction: English

Main source of funding:

Personal savings

Work opportunities:
I didn't want/need to work

Personal spending habits:
Cost of life is in Denmark is higher than in Italy. I saved money just for the telephone because I had not my mobile phone(italians are always speaking at mobile...)and maybe for nightlife because often the entrance of clubs was free for international students, but drinks were more expensive.

Food, Travel, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.

Nightlife: was the same price as at home.

Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
