Kobenhavns Universitet (KU)

I knew no Danish at all before I went. Although my classes were in English, I felt that I had to learn Danish because I was living with Danish students and it was frustrating not understanding them all the time. It is also very useful for everyday life in Denmark to be able to communicate in Dansih. Copenhagen University provide Danish courses for all foreign students and they are great! I left Denmark with a pretty good knowledge of Danish.

I bought a second hand TV for 250DKK on a Danish internet site for buying and selling second hand goods. Also staying in student halls of residence is by far the cheapest accomodation

Try to spend time with Danes and learn their language and you will probably get more from the experience than if you just stick with fellow international students. Go to the Roskilde Festival - End of June www.roskilde-festival.dk

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).

Copenhagen University place most foreign students in family homes, etc. But they do have some places in student halls (kollegium), so if you get offered a place - grab it! Life in the halls, living with Danish students, was excellent.
