Personal comments
I just think that grading system (which is somehow special here) should be explained in more details at the very beginning of the classes.

Danes (as any other Scandinavians) are extremely flluent in English... even old people are! All in all, CBS has extremely strong international profile - website in English is very great, books and other course materials are all in English.

Final comments
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!)

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.
