KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.

Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: A room exchange
Why? It is the easiest way to get in touch with the host culture, as you have to share a lot of things with your neighbors that are danish, and few foreigners
Personal comments:
Denmark has a great housing system at kollegiums, which are 10/12 students living together sharing the kitchen and having a great social life.
