“I would suggest to rent a car and travel from Copenhagen to oslo- Bergen- look at one Fjord( Flammfjord)- National Park on the way to Sweden- Stockholm- Gotherburg- and back to Copenhagen. Take your bike from home are buy one there, because everyone is going by bike and it is the cheaperst way to move around town.” Read Review

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: studenthouse
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: studenthouse
Why? It is the cheapest way to rent a room in Copenhagen.
Personal comments:
In my case CBS housing department did not fulfill the rental agreement which i signed befor i came to Copenhagen , because the studenthouse (svanevej 4) was still under construction when i arrived in Copenhagen and so i had to live in a hotel for more than 1 month! Furthermore when i moved in,the house was still under construction and was not finished still i left 4,5 month later. I had to pay around 650 Euro each month.
