Recommandation personnelle
I haven't met a single person who hasn't loved Copenhagen. A lot of people (including myself) ended up here on a whim but we've wound up loving it to bits. The city is small and cosy and very easy to get to know. Yes the Danes can be difficult to break through but its worth the effort because they will be honest and loyal friends to you. The exchange community is vast and tightly knit. Everyone knows everyone.

Get going! You have to be somewhat independant and resourceful at finding your own friends, and enjoy being somewhat anonymous. I came from a big public university, so I was used to being anonymous. On the other hand, the classes were small and fairly intimate, but do not expect anyone to baby you.

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!

Well first time in Copenhagen was a bit streessful but after 4 months I managed to settle best advice get proper winter outfit. The weather changes quite often but good thing the city is the right size for you to access easily from university to your part-time job very easily.
Are you thinking to move here? Start to apply for accommodation at least 5-6 months before you move. Check those student accommodation websites, sign up for their waiting list, get an insurance for all your belongings and get some Danish lessons.
Overall, my life at University is amazing. Everyone is very welcoming and many international students are in the situation as you.
Try to socialize as much as possible, discover new places and try to visit the countryside if you can.

The University of Copenhagen was founded as a typical latemedieval university in 1479, with the traditional four faculties: Theology, Law, Medicine and Arts. The university was organized as a part of the universal Catholic church, and the more practical details were modelled after the University of Cologne.
