I would suggest to take some basic course in danish before going in denmark. Then you have a better idea of what is going on and it's easier to get in contact with people because they see you are interested in knowing them.

Personal comments
Teachers should give the evaluation criteria in order to have a better idea of what they are looking for by giving the projects. sometimes it was hard for me to find out which orientation I should give to my work and the comments from the teachers were always very general on this aspect.

Klubben, the bar at the business school was really a nice place to meet with both exchange and danish students. Dowtown I would say social club was a nice place where a lot of foreigners liked to hang out. I would recommand Gas station as well.
