Personal comments

Housing at Copenhagen Business School is too expensive. In general, the rent for living in student houses is about 1.5 to 2 times more than the rent paid by regular Danish student. Staying in a private house could offer a good deals, but it is not really convenient to mix with other exchange students.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: One of the dorms

Why?

More contact with people-something that you miss our on a lot being a private house. Also a lot of the dorms had better locations, than where I was staying.

Personal comments

My housing situation was ok except for two factors: location and contact with other people. I would ahve much rather prefered to live in a dorm, eventhough it may have been more expensive it would have made my time in Copenhagen much more enjoyable.

Final comments

the night buses are efficent so you should alway try and buy a monthly card because it is cheaper in the long run. Bicycle use is very common due to the flat nature of the country.
