Overall
I wish I had known...
Just how much fun it was going to be, as it would have put my fears to rest!! And also that DTU is really on the outskirts of Copenhagen.

Housing
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Living with a family feels imposing to both parties involved. I felt that you could do as you pleased in case it caused offence and part of studying abroad is to learning to be self-sufficient as well as meeting like minded people.

Personal comments
There was no provision for on campus accomodation for international students at DTU which is very unfair considering all exchange students arriving in the UK are allocated these sometimes before they are offered to UK Students. My accomodation was superb but many students were not as lucky as i was and i feel that if more of us had been living on campus then i would have gotten to know more people. There was however opposion from danish students to allow us to stay in their halls and i would suggest a purpose built accomodation block for international students.
