Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Because I believe it is the best way to get to know American students - how they really are. However, I only had American students as neighbours and shared appartment with a girl from Nigeria and a girl from China, which was really challenging, but also a great experience, when we found out why we act and react so differently to things. So quite a culture shock! Luckily I ended up with a deeper understanding of the two cultures (+ the American culture - if you can say there is only one).

Personal comments
I recommend to other international students that they choose to live on campus even though it takes a while with the shuttle to get down to campus, but it is a great opportunity and expericence to try to live with different kind of people.

Personal spending habits
I ate out a lot more than I usually do at home; the telephone bill was naturally higher, since I was often in contact with my family and friends in Denmark; regarding travelling, I went on as many trips as possible to New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City...etc. - which is not an option in Denmark.

Personal recommendation
If you want to study it is a good place to go, for people who want to party it is a "not so good" place to go.

Try to get in contact with American students otherwise you will have a hard time going on a sightseeing tour, for example. Also, the bars close early, so you better know some people...

International management and Managerial communication were really interesting classes, because the teachers are good at passing on knowledge.

Personal comments
Be aware of the level! I chose e.g. a French class, but the level of languages in Denmark is definitely not the same in the United States.
