Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Same housing institute but closer to the campus.
Why?
Aarhus Købmandsskole states on it's website that they arrange accomodation for international students. However if you ask them to they refuse and point you else where, so I was left with little choice and knowledge of where to move to.

Personal comments
See above. The accomodation is privatly arranged and waiting times are high. The Købmandsskole does not live up to it's promise that it will find international students accomodation.

Personal comments
Supposedly the host school is in English however Danish students dont interact with the "English speaking" students as they are shy. Danish students in the international course usually use Danish during breaks, and in discussing with some teachers. It can be an up hill struggle!
