Wonderful Syddansk Universitet

Overall
I will be always thankful to Denmark and its education system. I decided to enroll in 2 years master’s in Marketing and International Business. I did not know much about the University, but I was aware of having a flair for marketing's subjects.
The all University system was a pleasant surprise.
As an international student I could rely on varied welcome initiatives that the local ESN was organising so to not leave people alone during the first crucial orientation days.
Coming from Italy where organisation within the big institution is only an illusion, I was astonished to discover how well SDU managed to insert newcomers into the academic year.
The approach of the Danish education system is completely different from the Italian one. 
In Italy the theory rules over practice so when one graduates he/her got a lot of notions but he/she does not see how to make them fit in the bigger "reality picture".
Danish courses are, instead, well balanced between theory and labs or group work. 
In my opinion this arrangement is way more fruitful because gives the student a first insight upon what his or her work will consist of in the future.
And that is a valuable test bench to understand if the courses one enrolled in will give him/her the job opportunities he/she is after.
Syddansk Universitet is the biggest University in Denmark which counts over 20.000 enrolled students.
The Campus got all the comforts one can wish for in his student life as for example, broad study rooms open 24/7, library, PCs labs, two canteens, internal Starbucks, ATM, university’s pub open on Friday.
Another plus for students where the Gym discounted subscription and several free time zone for the swimming-pool.
All over the year many parties and leisure activities were organized within the campus so that basically you ended up spending a bunch of time in the Campus without needing any transfer or commuting.
The only transfer I had to do during the day was the one between home and the Campus which anyhow I used to make by bicycle on the very well-maintained cycle tracks.
Anyhow I know that after I left, they built new dorms right by the Campus so it should be really easy to find accommodation in walking distance from the Universities.

Travel by train is very expensive, but if you are under 26 it's possible to get a discount (WildCard 50,25%). Nightlife is also expensive, it's good to visit placed before 11 pm, usually before this time the entrance is free. The most important thing is to have a BIKE! Public transport and taxi as you expect is also very expensive. With the bike there is also more fun, and it's healthy :) x

I have seen exchange students life in several countries: Spain, France, England, Holland, Poland and Denmark. Now i can claim that the exchange student life in denmark gives the most complete experience, over there there are people from all over the world who interact all together, one can get in touch with so many different cultures, and most than anything there are really few people from the same country, this means that there are not groups formed of french, of italians, of germans, of americans, of irish but there is a real mix. I wanted to say this because this i have seen a situation like this only in Odense.

Take your chance. Academically speaking, there is plenty of resources Do not be conditional upon weather. Make an effort when knowing Danish people. Danish people seem cold, but if you get know them, they are very sincere in their friendship, and not so cold!.

The experience is well worthy. Get rid of stereotypes and try to get to know people. Do not think that your way of having fun is the best, and the only one. Be open-minded, and take part in every activity and meeting that you can. Then, enjoy the best year of your life. And suddenly you will realise that you have changed.

I can recommend an exchange semester to everyone. It was a great experience and I will never miss it in my life. You get to know a lot of nationalities. TIPS: you should be open-minded in order to get to know other nationalities and you should bear in mind the cultural differences. Denmark is a beautiful country -> it is very nice for traveling around-> don´t miss to go to: Kopenhagen, Kerteminde, Blavand, Billund (Legoland), Island Mön, Skagen...

Definately, take the weather into consideration and if yoyu are below the age of 26 yoyu get discounts on planes and train fares around the country. There are reduced bus rates for students but then Denmark is a bicycle country and you can enjoy the feel of been on a bicycle.
