Personal comments

1) Best cafés: - Rayuela, a spanish bar in Fælledvej Street (in Norrebro). Actually, in this street there are plenty of bars and stuff --> Gefhärlish (night bar) and Rust (a night club closed to these street) - Vinyl Bar: (Sortedam Dossering 81) Cool decoration, with vinyls, and awesome hamburguers! 2) Night life: - Meatpacking district: a zone with 5 bars and clubs that were really cool. -Rust (mentinoned above) - Vega - the Erasmus used to go to places in the city centre were commercial music was played (the wall street, kulorbar) but.. i'm not gonna recommend them ;) 3) place not to be missed: - Christiania! Amazing! take your time there, and go there more than once! there's always something to do! Night: go to the reaggae club there. Day: take your time to grab a coffee or w/e in the many bars there. Try the vegetarian restaurant, very cozy! :) - Norrebro Fleamarkets: on saturday and sunday. - Amager Strand: go to the beach when the good weather comes! its preatty cool and different! - Parcs: go to any of the parcs in town. I liked Fredriksberg have. - Nyhavn, Kongens Nytorv, the centre and Kastellet.

Personal recommendation

I think its a really good university, and brings you the opportunity to get to know a lot of international and danish students. The courses are well organized and the teachers are rally good. I noticed a big difference from my home university, but I liked it. Moreover, the university provide many activities both for intrnational students and host students, a cool oportunity to get to know the country and other people! I really reccomend it.

Housing

Type of housing: dorm

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

Basicaly because I think that living in an apartment gives you more facilities than sharing a kitchen, a bathroom and a shower with 7 other people. An ap. allow you to have your own space, is more calmed than a residence and moreover, is not that expensive if you share it with 1 or 2 people.

Personal comments

under my point of view, the resindence I stayed in (Pederskramsgade) was allright. My room was big enough to keep all my stuff, and the heating was always on, so the temperature in there was perfect! I lived in the 3rd floor, with 6 more international students, wich were really nice! We shared the kitchen, the toilet and the shower. The bad points were that the shower was inside the kitchen (we got used to it), that the washing machines where pretty expensive, plus there was only one place to hange on our cloths, so we couldn't wash cloths at the same time coz then, we could not hang them... There wasn't either a common room, but we didn't really care coz we used the kitchen or the biggest bedroom to meet each other. But anyway, I had a lot of fun there :)
