HOUSING

Financial Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Kollegium--each has own room in hall/share kitchen
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: kollegium
Why? It's a great cultural experience to live with other Danish and international students. While I had my own room and and restroom, 14 of us shared a kitchen. It is an ideal environment to learn everyday Danish language and customs.
Personal comments:
The Aarhus School of Business in Denmark had a wonderful international exchange program. The International counselors planned numerous events for the students which enhanced our cultural experience. Special tours and classes were offered to the international exchange students. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Klubben, the student union's bar/disco is the place to be every Thursday. Social Club is a disco in the city, the best for heavy drinkers. You have free beer from 23.00 to 24.00 and the entrance is free before a certain time (1am?!). Every Saturday, the best place to go to (for you guys out there) is Train. This place was described to me by danish girls as the "meat market". During the day, Plug-inn is the best place to be at tha Aarhus Business school. Unfortunately, it closes early... You can travel to Sweden or Finland at very low prices through Ryanair. Please visit Stockholm. Of course you have to see Copenhagen in Denmark. ;) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
exams are "opened books" exams so the main duty for a student is to understand and participate in order to get the best of the courses (and the best results) A GREAT course : Cross-Cultural Marketing - interactive, compelling, good level
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
they have their own perception of hte way student have to work... I think there should be more practical jobs to do, even for exchange students. In Belgium we are more used to memorise and this was almost inexistent there. I would say there should be more of it. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Basic phrases Personal comments:
linguistic immersion is the only effective way to learn a language. I could read english and express myself a bit but after this erasmus experience, I was able to communicate, understand native speakers and chat with them rather correctly. since danish do not have english as a mother tongue language (though they have a solid knowledge of it) and that they are reluctant to speak with foreigners, I spoke english mostly with other erasmus students (most of them are coming from spain) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Food: I hardly cook here so I tend to rely too much on instant food, which of course, is cheaper. Telephone: Overseas call is certainly more expensive. Accomodation: The cost of staying in the dorm here is definitely higher compared to what I paid for the hostel in my home university, but then again, the room is much bigger here. Nightlife: It is the best way of knowing more friends and keeping myself relaxed. Hence, as an exchange student, I wouldnt mind spending more money on such social events. Travel: There's so much to see when one is abroad. And I have always wanted to travel in Europe. Being in Denmark makes it a central location to visit almost all parts of Europe, which I hope to do in time to come. Overall: The cost of living is certainly higher than in Singapore. Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Food: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
To save money on food, cook with the international students or locals in your dormitory. This not only bring your cost down, but at the same time, u get to know them much better and have the opportunity to eat "international" meals all the time.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Take drinks and condoms from home! Very expensive there!!! In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Go to Aarhus! Amazing social life, amazing girls and amazing alcohol life, wow... how I miss it. FINAL COMMENTS
My semester (Spring 2003) was great! All the 70 foreign students at the ASB knew each other very well, we all went to parties toghether and we still comunicate... We have meetings each others countries and we created a great community. The school makes an excellent job promoting this social experience. The tutors are also great! They help you a lot... Travel with Ryanair to other countries. Book in advance. It is quite cheap. If you stay is Stockholm please stay at the Red Boat! Book in advance! Be sociable, make danish friends. It will be worth it. If you want to get laid, go to Train (you must be over 23 to get in, sorry...). Get a bike. Although the buses are great, always on time, they are quite expensive! Arrange a visit to Ceres, the local beer factory. They give you free beer at the end. Believe me, you will literally roll down the lawn (personally tested). The weather is not the best. But do not stay at home. Socialize. Arrange parties at your place, go to parties in the other students residences! From January to the end of February I just had a glimpse of the sun 6 times. Yes, you can count by your fingers the times you see the sun in the Winter. However, the Spring is awesome, beautiful. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
