To save money on food, cook with the international students or locals in your dormitory. This not only bring your cost down, but at the same time, u get to know them much better and have the opportunity to eat "international" meals all the time.

Using English does not pose a problem to me at all since this is the language that I use in my home university. However, with the European students who are more familiar with their own native languages obviously, an effort must be made on my part to try to understand the message that they are bringing across. Thus, for a preject meeting to end well, I have to take the initiative to start the ball rolling and give constructive ideas during the meeting. But it is important to know that they often have great ideas as well, but they just need a little more time to express themselves using English. However, the Danes have an exceptionally good standard of English relative to other Europeans, thus, communication with the adminstration poses no problem at all.

It tends to get too cold here in Autumn and winter, thus bring more warm clothings!!

The bar at my Collegiet is fantastic. I get to know people of different nationalities and almost everyone is a student, thus making it much easier to make friends...=)

Living in an all Danish dormitory is indeed one of the biggest challenges in my stay in Denmark. While the Danes are very good in their English, they tend to speak Danish all the time, and I, being the only exchange student, makes it seem so hard to communicate with them at first. Well, things turn out much better than I expected and right now, I have already integrated into this small "family" in my dorm. They really make me feel so welcomed and in fact, the lanuguage barrier does not seem as strong as it started out with. Perhaps, my Danish course in school helps a little. But the opportunity to know the locals is certainly a fantastic experience for me. It can be quite hard for any exchange student, living alone with 12 other Danish students. But fortunately for me, the cultural differences are easily dissolved and I can confidently say that I have made a quick adjustment to my life in Denmark.
