Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

Because I spent a lot of time in the different bus and trains everyday. If you live on campus you have more time to everything.

Personal comments

I think that they have a big problem with the accommodation. Some people live very far from the university and I have never seen exchange students living in host families. All the residences are occupied by danish people and there are big problems to find an accommodation close to the university. I think they have to improve this aspect as soon as possible
