Overall

I wish I had known...

In Denmark it's always raining and it's quite cold during the winter, but in summer the weather it's really nice!

In my opinion:

I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.

Personal recommendation

It's not always easy for an exchange student to fond the right course to attend and most of them are in danish. So it's not easy follow the university for an exchange student who doesn't know the local language. Anyway, I have to say that people was really kind with me and some of the teacher where every time ready to help me.

Personal recommendation

this university has a special programme for the exchange students. Those ones would have a Danish course during 3 weeks coupled with other cultural activities. The university also has an organisation (IES) where international students meet each other and have fun.

Final comments

Denmark has a good health insurance system, so you don't have to bother about it and you will be considered as a Dane, i.e you will benefit all health insurance and the doctors' consultations are free. The libraries system is also good, you can order a book in any Danish library and you can get this book just 2-3 days after in the closest library.
