In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Don't worry! You are warmly welcomed by the home students, who organize special activities (discovery of student and night lives, culture, langage etc...)for International students at the beginning of each semester. They also organize travels in Denmark or in foreign countries... They really take care of you!!!

Try to travel as much as possible, with Eurolines or Easyjet for instance you can do it for cheap!!!
And the weather in Denmark is not as bad as one can expect: sometimes a little bit windy, but wasn't really cold.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Personal comments
You just have to fill in a form, and the school finds your housing according to your preferences. I would recommend to choose a shared appartment or a room in a students residence, so you can meet and live together with other students from many other countries!
