Personal recommendation
You have to work really hard if you're going to DTU to meet danes, if you're going just to meet other students (not in particular danes) it's a good choice, it's a very intternational university

because things are more expensive in Denmark than in Sweden. The telephone cost was maximized because of a boyfriend in Sweden. Travel was expensive since I lived far away from school.

Personal comments
DTU doesn't have avery high priority in helping international students in getting a room at campus, which is really bad, since it results in the international students keeping in one group instead of beeing integrated with the danes
