Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Klubben, the bar at the business school was really a nice place to meet with both exchange and danish students. Dowtown I would say social club was a nice place where a lot of foreigners liked to hang out. I would recommand Gas station as well.

The school should offer more courses thought in english, I had some problems to find equivalences.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Teachers should give the evaluation criteria in order to have a better idea of what they are looking for by giving the projects. sometimes it was hard for me to find out which orientation I should give to my work and the comments from the teachers were always very general on this aspect.

Don't take it too easy! They don't give good grades for free! FINAL COMMENTS
