Why?
Personal comments:
Almost all of the exchange student stayed off campus, so I do not have much experience of the accomodation that the University offers, but my general impression is that the on campus options are not attractive. But off campus (renting houses privately) is amazing and there are a lot of fantastic options close to campus.

Overall
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
Before I even got to New Orleans, people often thought I was American, so I had no problems with the language. But I did notice that many of the local students were very open towards me, while some of the other foreign students had problems, because they were not as good at speaking English.

EXPENSES    
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
Food and going out is considerably more expensive in Denmark than in New Orleans, thus although I ate out more and went more to bars and clubs In Ner Orleans, I ended up spending less. Housing on the other hand was more expensive than at home, this was due tot he fact that in Denmark I lived in a dorm , while in New Orleans I rented a whole house with just one person to share it with. Obviously I did more travelling when on exchange, thus spent more money on it.
Travel, Overall, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Food, Nightlife: was less expensive than at home.
