Personal comments
I lived at the Emdrupborgkollegiet in Copenhagen. This is a dorm in the outskirts io Copenhagen, about half an hour to the university. It is normally in a very quiet area, but the time I spent there was horrible, because there was a construction area not only directly outside the house but also IN the house (that means: pneumatic hammer at 7 o'clock a.m. in the cellar).
The cost is - compared to other locations - quite low, but compared to other cities around the world quite expensive. The rooms are not too large (let's say: small) and the equipment is 1960's. A bis plus is the fact that there's a seperate floor only for exchange students.
