Personal comments
It was very difficult getting a job because I did not speak the local language.It was very surprising that even for cleaning jobs I was told wherever i went that I needed to speak danish to be able to get a job.I only had to learn not to spend beyond my means. Shop fron Aldi amd Netto who things are much cheaper.

Final comments
Definately, take the weather into consideration and if yoyu are below the age of 26 yoyu get discounts on planes and train fares around the country. There are reduced bus rates for students but then Denmark is a bicycle country and you can enjoy the feel of been on a bicycle.

Personal comments
It was pretty difficult in the beginning been in a society whose language U did not speak. Almost everyone here does speak english but it did get pretty irritating sometimes when as U spoke english the person spoke danish not because she cannot speak english but does not want to.

Personal comments
The university does give you directions and forms to apply for accomodation and whatever happens is between you and the accomodation office which is independent of the university.
