Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Host university

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

The apartments which CBS offers to exchange students are very comfortable and in the city center. These apartments are usually for a couple of exchange students from everywhere, that's why I chose this form and would choose it again!

Personal comments

Very good, although kind of expensive, but that's because of the high living standard in Denmark.

Course recommendations

Haven't seen it on the program anymore but an excellent course was APIM, advanced program in international management, where three course were combined in one (finance, marketing and strategy) one of the only courses ever where different fields related and interacted. A point which is missed in most courses (all!)

Personal comments

Danish is not an easy to learn language because it requires verbal effort. Even if on written I was having great knowledge, I was alays having hard times to understand the spoken language. Fortunatelly, English is very well spoken in Denmark and I did not have any problems excepting in the social life.
