Copenhagen Business School review by Leonardo

Review by Leonardo, LUISS, Rome, Italy
Business Studies, Erasmus
HOUSING    
Personal assessment
Cost
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: Flat/Apartment sharing
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? the core of this experience is to get in touch with international students and share, share, share! The best way to do this is living in a student house with other 26 people from all over the world!
Personal comments:
Any accomodation you get through the C.B.S. will satisfy you! Not to worry at all!

ACADEMIC       5.0 / 5
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
Many exams are based on workgroups, make up a group of international students only... possibly avoiding local students... and possibly choosing "valid" groupmates, because professors tend to dive the same mark to the group as a whole....



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
This is probably the best school in Europe together with London ... therefore I don't feel like complaining even if it's not perfect!
