Personal recommendation:
to develop on-campus infrastructure: the university if in the middle of a field, there are no shops, the only place to buy food is the cantine, that closes at 5 p.m. So a little grocery store or pizzeria or alike woulde be useful.



FINAL COMMENTS

I have already given lots of comments, so here I will provide a good advice. Before you go to the host University try to find out as much as you can about languages, transport, supermarket chains etc. It will make your life much easier!

Denmark is expensive, I don't want to lie. Copenaghen is wonderful and so the rest of the country. Danes are quite cold but they can be surprisingly kind if you need any kind of help.
