Final comments
Denmark is a friendly but not always warm country with happy people inside. But of course the definition of warmness depends where do you come from. If from Italy quite closed people, hard to open up, if from Nordic countries vice-versa.

It was amazing how quickly you can learn the language if you are in the environment of this certain language. About Denmark...the good thing is that everybody speaks fluently English, so it was quite easy to cope.

Personal comments
I was lucky to live in the apartment the university rented us, because to find an accomodation with a reasonable prize in Copenhagen is bit hard. I know some people who had to go back home in the beginning of a semester, because theu couldn't find a place to live.

Personal comments
There is a very nice nightclub called Vega (the best underground dancemusic!) on Enghavevej, Vesterbro. Except there is good music the entrance is free till 1 o'clock on Fridays and Saturdays. And plenty of pubs to go...although the beer is quite expensive (up to 40 DKK per ½ liter), but what isn't in Denmark!
