Personal comments
Danish is an amazing language. It is quite difficult to learn. I think it is becasue you keep on learning new words and sentences, and you still cannot understand the locals. It is very frustrating, and takes some time to adapt one's ears to the spoken Dansih. Lots of people give up learning Danish because of this frustration.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
Mainly because everything is more expensive in Denmark than in my home country, in Hungary. On the other hand I tended to spend more on travelling and partying in general.

Personal comments
There are so many things to see in Copenhagen, or in Denmark.
I just make a list about my first thoughts:
1. There was a bar for international students+IAESTE trainees every tuesday in Kælderbar. It was just great.
2. I liked kollegium parties, which were quite often on schedule. In Egmont, there was a thursday bar every week, and there were other parties all the time. Especially the ones we had to dress in.
3. Park cafe
4. Europa cafe
5. Mokka cafe
6. So many small bars
7. And I learned playing Backgammon in Denmark, and I can't stop playing it.

Housing
Type of housing: Dorm located in the city
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: The same place
Why?
It is a very nice place to live. To meet and be friends with different interesting people. There are small rooms, but it became very cosy when I moved in. Nice and well equipped kitchens. And lots of activities, parties. Close to the city. It is called Egmont Kollegiet

Personal comments
The place I stayed is not really the university's accomodation. The uni is quite far from the city centre, and I know that there are dorms nearby, but there are only engineers staying, and as I said it is far from the city. It is more interesting to meet other people than engineers.
