Personal comments
Housing at Copenhagen Business School is too expensive. In general, the rent for living in student houses is about 1.5 to 2 times more than the rent paid by regular Danish student. Staying in a private house could offer a good deals, but it is not really convenient to mix with other exchange students.

I wish I had known...
I wish I would have brought the books that I am going to use in Denmark. Books in Denmark are really expensive.

Personal comments
The Danish learning was not going very well. I did not really choose any intensive local language courses, rather focused on studies of other subjects. As a result, I still cannot speak Danish after 6 months.
