Personal recommendation

As an international student, I hope I could learn more about the local culture and customs. I think it's better for exchange students to have some culture lessons as well as language classes. The host school should provide with us such opportunities.

Final comments

As you choose this school - a school which is famous for low scores and high acedemic standards - it's better to study hard especially when you have exams. To be an exchange student there is never an easy thing like you think. Whatever it might be a good experience, since you can really learn something and the teachers there are nice and serious.

Personal comments

I think my spoken English has really been improved a lot since I went there. As Denmark is a small country, I couldn't find so many people who speak my language there and must communicate in English almost all the time. It's a good chance to practice.

Personal comments

Pretty good. But it is expensive and too far away from the campus. Besides, it is not very safe in the neighborhood since several students complained that they had lost things at their own houses.
