Personal recommendation
Copenhagen is a great city, with lots of stuff to do! Students from Southern Europe however had a tendency to complain about the 'coldness' of the locals, as well as the high costs of living. The academics were great, but mostly you had to create your own activities, (which wasn't that hard)
If you wanna experience Scandinavia, Roskilde University Center, or Lund in Sweden could be a better alternative as far as I heard. For me however, the year in Copenhagen turned out to be the most enriching and fruitful year of ny studies, both socially and academically! You'd love it too!

Final comments
No matter how open-minded you consider yourself to be before going abroad, you never are! The right attitude is definetely to absorbe as much as you can, and make the cultural differenies look positive.
If you tend to be less social at your home university, don't go abroad with the hope that everything's gonna change once you move. A new enviroment doesn't have to mean an automatic acquisition of new friends, most probably you'll have to take a lot of initiative yourself!
