Personal comments

The bar in the school is not to be missed: in Klubben, there is cheap beer and a good atmosphere. On special occasions, it gets very crowded and exciting there ! There are also plenty of enjoyable places dowtown, bars like Hulen (this bar for students was built in a cave!)or discos like Metro or Miles Ahead.

I had in mind that, though lectures and works would be in English, I wouldn't learn much. I was wrong, since I improved in some ways, regarding vocabulary for instance but mostly in my general understanding of English.
