I wish I had known...

I was disappointed that the danish students were very seperated towards exchange students.

In my opinion:

Stay home.

Go to Dakotas on Thursdays for 2 for 1 drinks. Dubliners is fun for insanse bravado drinking with Irish people. Just walk into any bar and start drinking but stay away from the expensive places on Stroget.

Excellent. I took a Danish language course, lived with Danes, and subsequently was able to develop conversational to intermediate level Danish. Very easy to communicate in English with locals if need be.

Danish is very difficulkt to pick up even though you are good at languages because it's not pronounced as it is written, unlike Swedish. The Danes all speak english so there is no incentive to learn it.
