Personal comments
Learning Danish was a challenge but not a necessity, thank god because it's a really hard language. After two month of courses I was able to understand some ideas listenind to the radio and also to understand some writing things.
For the language of instruction (English) it was not really a problem before arriving and it was even easier after the journey.

Course recommendations
There wasn't a big range of courses in my area (software), so I just studied random subjects (e.g. logistics and transport, international development co-operation). It was a bit hard to engage with the local students, they were a bit reserved.

I wasn't really there to study, so it was fine. It would be nice if the Danish students were a bit more open. :)

Personal comments
I had heard that the cost of living was high, but I didn't know that it would be about three times as much as at my University. Learning to cook is a necessity with this culture, and it also saves you money- the food at stores is almost all the same, so go to the cheaper ones, i.e. Netto, Aldi

It is not easy to get a room at a dormatory, because appartments in DAnmark are expensive, but ones you have one it is usually really good.

my english is becoming better and better each day I spent in Denmark since I lived with 5 other internationl students and we spoke english together. After the first days, when I was sure I would not speak to anyone for the all year, because of my bad english, I found out that try to speak english can be fun and it helps a lot to get new friends
