Personal comments

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.

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.

Personal comments

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.
