HOUSING
by Pierre-Yves, Solvay Business School - ULB, Brussels, Belgium
Marketing and Sales Management, Socrates
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? If one compare to student "kollegiet" or family houses as offered by the university of Aarhus, there are more place than family houses and more privacy than in Kollegiet (10 students usually share one common commodity room) in appartments (usually owned by students abroad). Obviously, there are exceptions to this statement.
Personal comments:
One Danish people's specificity is the cleanliness. You won't have bad surprise when you'll discover you're accomodation. Another positive point to concede to Danish is their organisation. Nearly everything is already planned (sometimes too many things!), and consequently, a lot of paper comes out of any modification of your "administrative" status. The drawback of it is slowliness...

STUDENT LIFE
by Patricia, Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain
Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
I use to go to private parties in different students houses or in the University almost every Thursday night. It is quite common because if you chose to go out to a club or a pub it is quite expensive. Not many students can afford it. I went out down town only one night to know it. It was good but I found everything expensive. Anyway, if you like walking, the city it is very nice. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
For undergraduate studies, it is more of a difficult task to choose courses since undergraduate education has a stricter formation both at home and host universities. Some desired courses need prerequisites and they are therefore unavailable to exchange students.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Calendars are determined in advance but they are subject to change. The way exchange students are examined are different than the already students of the university in terms of the form and date of examination. These issues are have to be clarified earlier in the semester. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. Personal comments:
Using English does not pose a problem to me at all since this is the language that I use in my home university. However, with the European students who are more familiar with their own native languages obviously, an effort must be made on my part to try to understand the message that they are bringing across. Thus, for a preject meeting to end well, I have to take the initiative to start the ball rolling and give constructive ideas during the meeting. But it is important to know that they often have great ideas as well, but they just need a little more time to express themselves using English. However, the Danes have an exceptionally good standard of English relative to other Europeans, thus, communication with the adminstration poses no problem at all.

EXPENSES

Business Studies, Erasmus
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Other sources of funding:
Personal savings Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Because everything is much more expensive, especially travelling (exorbitant!!!). I didn´t use phone much, but CBB is much cheaper than Czech operators, especially as regards SMS. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
buy a bike (there is a police auction every first Wednesday in the month) - although you might not believe it, it is possible to ride it even in winter. Bus tickets are quite expensive. Food is OK if you shop in Netto, Aldi. Bars, cafés etc. are very expensive. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I wish I had known more about the location of the city which does blockade cheap means of travel both inside Denmark and towards outside of the country. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
A really peaceful city hosts this university and its students which predominates and vitalizes the local life. However, the city is still far away from being a big city / capital or a metropolitan centre. For those of you who are oming from bigger cities will experience this forementioned difference both reflected on the social life and the life in relation to the academy. FINAL COMMENTS
Aarhus is a port city an the second largest city in Denmark which is truly located in the midst of the Jutland peninsula. However, it is not easy and inexpensive to travel to this city. You have to take a flight to Copenhagen and take another flight or take a train to Aarhus. This is costly as well Since Copenhagen itself and Aarhus is not a popular flight destination for lowcost carriers. These facts have to be acknowledged before planning your trip to the host city.
