Type of housing: dorm

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? Basicaly because I think that living in an apartment gives you more facilities than sharing a kitchen, a bathroom and a shower with 7 other people. An ap. allow you to have your own space, is more calmed than a residence and moreover, is not that expensive if you share it with 1 or 2 people.

Personal comments:
under my point of view, the resindence I stayed in (Pederskramsgade) was allright. My room was big enough to keep all my stuff, and the heating was always on, so the temperature in there was perfect! I lived in the 3rd floor, with 6 more international students, wich were really nice! We shared the kitchen, the toilet and the shower. The bad points were that the shower was inside the kitchen (we got used to it), that the washing machines where pretty expensive, plus there was only one place to hange on our cloths, so we couldn't wash cloths at the same time coz then, we could not hang them... There wasn't either a common room, but we didn't really care coz we used the kitchen or the biggest bedroom to meet each other. But anyway, I had a lot of fun there :)

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!

Type of housing: A room exchange

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: A room exchange

Why? If I would go on exchange there again, I would choose to live in the same appartment. The location was great, right between the Business School and the city centre.

Personal comments:
In general housing at this university is very good. Most residences have a phone line and internet. There is however one residence that could use a lot of improvement. This is my residence; we were the only ones who did not have a phone line. The building was very old as well. But the fact that I was among exchange students (around 70, but sharing an appartment with 5 others) and had a good location made up for this all.

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why? Because i could meet many more people

Personal comments:
I was accomodated in student house; everyone had his ownroom but kitchen, bathrooms and lounge were common. In the summer time it was quite empty but it was very nice to eat and have relax with other students in the lounge. We had some parties in our place with students coming from other accomodation. The place was really nice and it was perfect for social life but we were just twenty in a three floor house with fifty rooms and it was not so close to the campus and the centre of the town.

Why? great way to integrate into everyday life of Danes.

Personal comments:
I am absolutely convinced that International Office at CBS is doing terrific job! In particular, when it comes to housing. Even though, I was a free-mover, they helped me just as any exchange student. Even though CBS itself has only few small dormitories dispersed all over the city, they've got a good network of those who are willing to rent an apartment or a room to international students.

Why? Allows you to have your own space, get in touch with few peolple,but opportunity to get to know them better

Personal comments:
The place I was place in was not as expected, since they have internet pictures that are far from what you receive. This is due to a variety on the kind of appartment among the same residence place. What you get can be really different from what the next door got even though you are paying the same.

Type of housing: Dormitory

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Dormitory

Why? It was good to live with people from many nationalities, and staying in a dormitory helped me to make friendship faster

Personal comments:
There were two dorms during the summer session: I were in Valby and at start I was not so happy becouse it was far from center ( not that much anyway) then the fact of having bigger common rooms helped us to get closer

Why? The apartments which CBS offers to exchange students are very comfortable and in the city center. These apartments are usually for a couple of exchange students from everywhere, that's why I chose this form and would choose it again!

Personal comments:
Very good, although kind of expensive, but that's because of the high living standard in Denmark.

Type of housing: With a family

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why? I ended up living in campus residence at a later stage. It is a great way of meeting and learning from other students.

Personal comments:
My initial host family accommodation was not good but the student residence was great. However, accommodation is one of the biggest problems in Copenhagen especially for students.

Type of housing: Changed from a host family to residence hall

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why? Living in one of the University halls of residence is definately the best idea as you meet all the other exchange students. There are several in the city centre which are great. I lived in Valbygardsvej which is good fun but a longer cycle into the city! (10 minutes!)

Personal comments:
