1 Housing (rent housing in Lyngby, Denmark) (Lyngby, Denmark hotel)

Host university

If returning, I would choose:
On campus
Why? Living in a house is just great but living in a campus makes you more in contact with what is happening and helps a lot in getting information about your studies and making more friends

Course recommendations:
I would recommend to apply as soon as possible to courses since the cool ones can get pretty fast overbooked. As for the subjects I chose, I took three subjects which were far from what I was taking in my home country. They were not about numbers and calculations niether programming.But still they had something in common with the IT world. All three subjects I highly recommend for people who would like to have a rest from programming and mathematics for a while and have some more time to see more of the country. Standardization in Telecommunication: It is about standards in our everyday life. Intranet in the Virtual organization: also interesting subject about communication between people using the intranet. Strategy and Planning: this is a good subject if you are planning to manage a company some day. As for the rest of the programs I chose Real Time Systems. Noe here there is a little more of thinking but it is a very interesting subject about automatas. Embedded Systems: This is a subject I would prefer not to have. Lectures are boring however the labs are interesting but still a lot of electronics and cables which is not for me

5 Expenses

Main source of funding:
Family

Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
An ERASMUS grant

Work opportunities
I didn't want/need to work.

Personal spending habits:
Food is more expensive right here especially restaurants this is why I'm more cooking at home to save some cash. Accomodation is more expensive since in my Home Country I have my own app. I don't pay any rentals as for traveling well there is no country that beats Poland in its cheap communication. Denmark has a very good network but also very expensive. I great solution is the bicycle it is just great to cycle here especially when you think of all the cash you are saving
