It found difficult to understand and to speak in English. But later I got use to the different accents. Everybody spoke English. When they spoke in Danish I could not understand a word, but I learnt a few words and expressions although it is not enough to have a conversation. I was more concentrated in English and in French because I took all my classes in English and one of my courses was French Language.

It is good idea that they look for accomodation for Exchange Students that are not from the Scandinavian Countries. U will like your accomodation according to the place u will get, and this is pure chance whether u get a good one. As far as I am concerned, accomodation at ASB is pretty good : U r not leaving alone!

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.

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.

It was quite good. Maybe a bit far from University because I had to get a bus that it takes half an hour in arriving. This is not the bad thing, but it was not so good when it snowed. Apart from that I was very happy. I had got used to that live very fast.

I have good English skills(the language of instruction) before, so, this aspect wasn't a big concern for me although having the opportunity to improve it was one of the main reasons to study abroad. English is understood and spoken in a bilingual level for almost everyone, so, communication was not a problem. I took some basic Danish classes too.
