Personal comments
The main problem is that in Denmark everyone (also kids, bus-drivers etc) speaks English. As the courses were in English just as well, one had no motivation to learn Danish. Fortunately my host-family decided to talk to me in Danish (only) so "I had to" learn the language. And I'm really glad because of it!

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Government assistance
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
I didn't have to pay for the accomodation, the food and the telephone as these were paid from the governmental scholarship money. As I got some pocket money as well - I didn't spend a single penny from the money I brought from home. But I must admit the nightlife and the travel is soooo expensive in Denmark!

"The Souls" cellar is the best student's pub with the Happy Tuesday (2 beers in the price of 1). I liked the Klimt Cafe as well.
One cannot miss the skating rinks popular especially in December!
