Housing
Type of housing: Campus village - the containers
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus in a kollegium
Why?
In a kollegium you pay less than the containers and have your room with bathroom and a big shared kitchen for 10-20 other people.

Personal comments
The accomodation in Copenhagen is very difficult at the moment, so they built these containers where they put some international students. The containers aren't as bad as they sound, but could be a LOT better. In a kollegium you get much more.

Academic
Course recommendations
Be careful when you choose the courses: some 10 credit courses are really worth 5 in terms of work and others of 5 may be 10 ou 20 credits in terms of work.

Personal comments
The liberty given with the reports that you do along the semester and no exam, goes with the responsability of your work and discipline. But I liked it.

Danish is very dificult to learn. It's a language spoken by only 5 million ppl over the whole world and it's verbal language is quite different from the written language. You should try to have an introductory course though, it's always helpful.

If you come from Portugal choose Tagus-Air France, it's the cheapest. Try to get a buddy and talk alot to other international students to find out about parties, and cheaper stuff.
