Personal comments
One of the best places for students to go is Studenter Huset, where each Wednesday are parties for students and for free!Drinks not very expensive. Another nice place to go is Jazz House and Vega disco. Danish people don't like huge discos, so they have a lot of small places to visit at night, where you can chat, drink, dance and even listen to live music (sometimes).

Personal comments
Most markets chains don't accept international payment cards (Maestro,Visa Electron etc.)-you have to have special card or to pay cash. The cheapest places to by food are Netto, Fakta and Aldi and of course very common Arabian shops (in Nirebro region of Copenhagen).

Academic
Course recommendations
CEMS courses which I took where really great. There are limited places available in these courses so the classes and interaction are really interesting and valuable.
Teachers communicate with students by e-mail and all courses' materials you can find and download from the web page.

Overall
I wish I had known...
For longer stay it is worth to know that the best way of transport in Copenhagen is biking. It's really comfortable and cheaper than public transportation, but you have to buy a used bike not a new one.

Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
It was the most advanced in technological sense university I've ever seen. Teachers treat students as partners and are very helpful. Students have to work systematicly and work really hard, but the resuls are really good and valuable. Team working is applied to almost all courses.

Final comments
To travel around Copenhagen it is very cheap to buy 24hours ticket for Copenhagen region. You should visit for sure Frederiksberg in Hellerod - it looks like taken from the dreams and has beautiful gardens around, so the best time to go there is sunny day in Spring.

All Danish speak English so everywhere you can ask and talk in English.It is really amazing when all people - youth and elder can speak really good English. Because of this fact you don't have to speak Danish to live in Copenhagen, but most employers require that you know Danish.
