Copenhagen is full of hapenning. Chech out www.woco.dk. Enjoy amazing bakery, cool Carlsberg and Tuborg beer! Many cultural venues and spots - Experimentarium museum is terrific! Explore around the Greater Copenhagen area (Oresund rund ticket is a great bargain to travel around). Use Potato Week in Fall Semester and Easter in Sgring one to go to Sweden or Norway (boat, car, Scanrail pass - everything goes!)

Course recommendations

Teacher as in any other University can make from a course a fantastic experience as well as a fully lost of time. So ask who is teaching the course to the old students and what do they think about him/her.

No doubt: go to the Park Cafè on Thursday night. It's an amazing place with students, locals live music and disco. There's also a very nice open space with music and bar. In Copenhagen you can always find something to do in the night a part from Sunday and Monday. During the day you can have a nice walk in the centre of the town, there are many nice shops or spend the day in the museums. If you wan to travel go to Aarhus it's a very nice university town. Take a look at Christiania, Tivoli and moreover the National Museum

Since I´ve lived with danish students only and also taken courses that have been taught in Danish, I´ve had the opportunity to speak Danish daily, which most of the intern. students haven´t been able to.
