Type of housing:

Arranged by:

If returning, I would choose:
With a family
Why? Experience more of the Danish culture.

Describe host city:
Students equally interact with the local and student community

Travel take/s place mostly outside the university/student environment

Activities, Nightlife take/s place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Course recommendations:
There wasn't a big range of courses in my area (software), so I just studied random subjects (e.g. logistics and transport, international development co-operation). It was a bit hard to engage with the local students, they were a bit reserved.

The language of instruction was:
English

The local language was:
Different than language of instruction

My proficiency in the local language:
before: Basic phrases
after: At ease in most situations

Learning the local language was a factor in choosing my host country

Main source of funding:
Government assistance

Other sources of funding:
Family
Personal savings
A private grant

Work opportunities
I worked during my study abroad experience.
I worked in a private company

Personal spending habits:
Denmark is more expensive than Australia although mobile phone costs are pretty cheap (in Australian money, my contract was $10 a month, and about 5c per SMS. Call costs were also cheap but not for international calls, it's much better to buy a phone card and use a public phone. DTU has some public phones on campus.) Meat is also expensive, especially because they don't have real sausages! Travel is more expensive but you can usually ride your bike to uni so it's free (unless you get a flat, or forget your bike lights!). Travel into Copenhagen by train or bus is reasonable. Beer can be expensive, but it's pretty reasonable at the student bars and the Moose during happy hour.

I wish I had known ...
It's really not necessary to know Danish, but I don't regret learning it. Denmark doesn't have much nature, you have to go to Sweden and Norway for that. Swedish and Norwegian seem easier to learn than Danish. In other words, I'd probably choose Sweden if I went again. A lot of people complained that they didn't realise how hard it would be to leave all their new friends at the end of the semester. There were lots of tears, it was messy.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
