Personal comments
Pay your bills on time otherwise fees are enormous. The cheapest supermarket - Netto, good meet products are in Føtex. Transport - buses and trains have operate under the same system, so one can use the same ticket for both. For smokers - cigarettes are very expensive, so bring as many as you can with you to Denmark. Do shopping at the discounts time (after Christmas and after 15 July)

Personal recommendation
to develop on-campus infrastructure: the university if in the middle of a field, there are no shops, the only place to buy food is the cantine, that closes at 5 p.m. So a little grocery store or pizzeria or alike woulde be useful.

Final comments
I have already given lots of comments, so here I will provide a good advice. Before you go to the host University try to find out as much as you can about languages, transport, supermarket chains etc. It will make your life much easier!
