Everbody in Denmark speaks perfect english and since danish is pretty hard to learn they would also answer your tries in english because they probably won´t understand your pronouniciation! With english absolutely no problem!

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

It was an ok place and it was perfect to meet others, a very social place, the Kollegium! So if you come alone I would definately recomend it. Also very close to the main university!

Personal comments

It is a rather new building with a big common area in the middle with common kitchen. There is a TV room, possibility to wash clothes with a special card you have to buy. You have a room in a freezer. There are lots of parties going on!
