Personal comments
Almost all of the exchange student stayed off campus, so I do not have much experience of the accomodation that the University offers, but my general impression is that the on campus options are not attractive. But off campus (renting houses privately) is amazing and there are a lot of fantastic options close to campus.

Personal spending habits
Food and going out is considerably more expensive in Denmark than in New Orleans, thus although I ate out more and went more to bars and clubs In Ner Orleans, I ended up spending less. Housing on the other hand was more expensive than at home, this was due tot he fact that in Denmark I lived in a dorm , while in New Orleans I rented a whole house with just one person to share it with. Obviously I did more travelling when on exchange, thus spent more money on it.

Personal comments
Before I even got to New Orleans, people often thought I was American, so I had no problems with the language. But I did notice that many of the local students were very open towards me, while some of the other foreign students had problems, because they were not as good at speaking English.
