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: Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because, sometimes you find the wrong roomate. Specially if you are in Denmark, danish people can be very cold and intolerant.
Personal comments:
I think the accommodation is OK, The only thing I missed in my kollegiet was more "social life" and better comunications with the city center and the university, the kollegiet was pretty far from both places.

My experience was that when you travel to a country that has a main language that you canīt comunicate in, itīs going to be more difficult to make friends of that country, not exchange students as you. But I understand, thatīs why I tried to learn danish as far as I could.
