I wish I had known...

It didn't occur to me that a lot of exchange students were going to be travelling in Scandinavia and rest of Europe. Otherwise I would have saved up more money for travelling.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

It's a great univerisity. It is one of the best universities/business schools in Scandinavia. Everything is very well organized for the exchange students. If there were any problems, the International Office was always ready to help. The university itself is very beatiful, it has a nice architecture.

It can get very cold in the winter, so bring some warm clothes. In the spring and summer however it's very nice, so don't forget to bring spring/summer clothes too!

Take the opportunity to travel around Scandinavia, it's not too expensive and definitely worth it! Go and see the "fjords" in Norway and don't miss Stockholm (amazing city, great nightlife)!

Find out whether the host university offers any subjects that you want to study. Sometimes classes are either too full or being cancelled

Put some efforts in getting to know the Danes. After a few drinks, they will become very friendly and want to get to know you. But breaking the first step is difficult

I wish I had known...

I didnt realise how bitingly cold Copenhagen can be in January! Also I didnt know how widespread the use of bikes was. If you have a bike you can take with you, do. I bought mine out there at a bike auction, however as you dont really know what you are buying this can lead to problems. The bargain I bought kept needing fixed and I would have spent the same buying a new one!! Also, until you have been there a whil you don't really know where is good to go out - a good website with an english translation is www.aok.dk
