For boys: Danish girls look absolutely gorgeous - be prepared!!! For girls: save some extra money for shopping (it is expensive, but -gosh- it is sooo cool!)
In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!

Personal recommendation:
Be open-minded for new teaching methods. Thinking (which means everything but learning by heart) is absolutely required!



FINAL COMMENTS

The university organises everything perfectly. Despite of one thing: travelling. Only one trip was organised (to Oslo on a party boat). I would recommend to books ome flights with low cost airlines with some fellow students to Stockholm and Helsinki. If you have one week off, rent a car (expensive, but worth it, if you are 4 people) and drive through Denmark. The landscape is gorgeous! Other than that: be repared for a great academic and social life in Copenhagen ;)

Don't worry! You are warmly welcomed by the home students, who organize special activities (discovery of student and night lives, culture, langage etc...)for International students at the beginning of each semester. They also organize travels in Denmark or in foreign countries... They really take care of you!!!



FINAL COMMENTS

Try to travel as much as possible, with Eurolines or Easyjet for instance you can do it for cheap!!! And the weather in Denmark is not as bad as one can expect: sometimes a little bit windy, but wasn't really cold.

Night life is good, ask natives for best places because they keep on changing. Stocholm is a good place to go, as it s Berlin and Oslo. Try also Arhus which is quite near to Kobenhavn.

Denmark is a really good country to live. People are used to foreigners and you don´t find problems in understanding because averybody speaks English. It is located in an strategic position to travell, you can travell wherever you want because many places are close and there are good prices available to everybody.

Copenhagen is full of hapenning. Chech out www.woco.dk. Enjoy amazing bakery, cool Carlsberg and Tuborg beer! Many cultural venues and spots - Experimentarium museum is terrific! Explore around the Greater Copenhagen area (Oresund rund ticket is a great bargain to travel around). Use Potato Week in Fall Semester and Easter in Sgring one to go to Sweden or Norway (boat, car, Scanrail pass - everything goes!)
