Personal comments
In Scandinavian country I was really pleased by the high level of language in every spheres. Teachers running the courses have really fluent english and mostly also some other language skills. Danish people and namely teachers were very open to communicate with students and also study department of the university was very students-friendly. I was very satisfied with these matters at University of Copenhagen.

Studenterhuset on wednesdays is an obvious choice- and sign up to be a volunteer bartender or DJ! Rust and Vega are good nightclubs for dancing, but drinks are expensive. Friday nights are reserved for faculty Fredagsbars- cheap beers and dancing with Danish uni students! Best one is with the political science faculty at CSS, other good ones with English and History, Biology and Law.

No, DIS did an excellent job of preparing their students of the things to expect upon arrival prior to leaving for Denmark.

They could have tried better - they had chosen rooms with families without previously asking and the reception lady was extremely rude.

I mostly went to parties in the hall of residence. These were organised by student committees and we also had our own bar. It was much cheaper than going to the clubs in town (which can be very expensive) and was more fun than the student house where all the international students go because there was more of a mix of people (Danes and foreign students).
