Course recommendations
Sign up for more, then drop the hard ones. I didn't really go to CPH to study, I went there to have fun (ie Christiania).

Courses are taught at a higher level than in Cali. Expect more of yourself, the education system is very good and the local students are quite clever.

Most people in Cph speak english. If you leave the city, you will find people who don't speak any english. Learn German, most Danes also speak that.

Personal recommendation
The university was great. Accomodations were in a perfect location but not the best. Forget it though, you won't be there. Great social activities, and a lot of drinking, what could be better.

Final comments
CPH is the best city. Summers are great, one day sunny, one day rainy. Enjoy the city, the people are all really friendly. You have to approach them, they can be very reserved. But still friendly. Be smart about your money. Dont eat out all the time. Drink at home, then go out. Buy bulk at Christiania, ask for discounts (White Widow!!!). Get a bus pass and go to the beach.

Personal spending habits
Before you go out to clubs, go get beer at a grocery store and pound at home. Saves mucho dinero. Also, stay away from the touristy areas. Buy your food at the grocery store, don't eat out all the time. Ask Danes where they eat.

Personal comments
Expect to get reamed a few times on exchange rates. Things are more expensive in CPH so you have to be smart. Cook at home, drink at home then go out, get a Danish girlfriend (highly recommend).

Go to Dakotas on Thursdays for 2 for 1 drinks. Dubliners is fun for insanse bravado drinking with Irish people. Just walk into any bar and start drinking but stay away from the expensive places on Stroget.

Personal comments
Don't worry so much about the housing. You will never be in your room when you see all the good looking girls in CPH. There is so much to see, do and have done to you that you will only need to sleep a few hours a night.
