Personal comments
My experience was that when you travel to a country that has a main language that you can´t comunicate in, it´s going to be more difficult to make friends of that country, not exchange students as you. But I understand, that´s why I tried to learn danish as far as I could.

The ESN-board was one of the bests points to get help from. They and my mentor were my "family" at the begining.
It was OK, I liked to be here, actually, I am waiting for the answer about a job here in Odense.

Personal comments
I think the accommodation is OK, The only thing I missed in my kollegiet was more "social life" and better comunications with the city center and the university, the kollegiet was pretty far from both places.
