Personal comments
I liked a lot downtown Aahrus because it seemed an small village and all the shops, pubs and bars were toghether, so it was always very lively. I especially loved the atmosphere of the places, very warm and cosy. My best cafe was, without any doubts, "Baresso". It was a chain all over Denmark and they prepared really good coffees. My best night spot? "Undermasken", it was just amazing. The best places to visit in Aarhus are a small harbour called Marselisborg and the old town, called "Den gamle by".

Personal comments
I was very satisfied with housing at Aarhus University because the international secretariat arranged all the details of my accomodation before me arriving in Aahrus. Everything was fine and I didn´t have any problems during the rest of my stay there.

I recommend this University mainly because it has a high academic level and students get a good formation during their stay. But also because you learn a different education system an that is always good to broad your mind.

Final comments
My stay in Aahurs was positive in all the ways. I travelled through Denmark and also through Scandinavia with the scanrail because it's cheaper. Denmark is an expensive country so students going there must be aware of that and get information about the best places where to buy the basic things, like food or academic stuff. And Denmark is also a cold country! so students should bring warm clothes and be prepared for the winter. The good thing of that is that all the places are very well prepared for the cold abd the heating is high. The best way for travelling around Denmark is by train. There is a card that students can get by paying some mone, but they get the 50% of discount in all the trips they do in a year. I really recommend that card.

Academic
Course recommendations
I strongly recommend two of the courses i did. One of them is called "the radio documentary". It's a very practical course and I really learnt a lot. The teacher was also very good. The other course is called Visual Media Production, it is about producion tv spots. it's also a very practical course and the access to equipments is great because we were few people in class and we had more availability to them

It was very nice, because I was able to communicate with international students from Denmark and all over the world just with English, and that is great. I could share my experiences with them and I also learnt a lot from all of them.
