The accomodation was great, I was supposed to live with family but they left to France, i the mean while I was always by myself. I had all the space and privacy I wanted once that they told me that I could use all the house.

Personal spending habits

Hmm, I think that in Denmark we have to pay a crazy VAT of 25% and an incoming tax of 30-40% even for parttime job. A high tax rate implies a good social benefit at the retirement time. But, I am sorry this is only good for the local residents. We are internal students and will leave Denmark eventually. Vituarly we pay the budden for nothing.

Food, Housing, Nightlife, Travel, Overall:

Personal comments

I am very surprise at the way we buy the travelling time rather that buy the ticket by trips. Once I miscalculated the number of traffic zones and was fined 500 DKK. Tips: Cook yourself. Bring the food and drink with you even to lecture hall so you do not have to go to cafeteria during the resting time. And always buy goods at Netto.

Housing

Type of housing: With a family

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why?

I feel that through living on campus I would have had the opportunity to meet & integrate with other students more easily, which was made more dificult through living off campus, in the suburbs.

Personal comments

More should be done to provide on campus accomodation for international students as I don't feel that lodging with families is an ideal suiting to the student lifestyle.
