Copenhagen Business School (CBS)

under my point of view, the resindence I stayed in (Pederskramsgade) was allright. My room was big enough to keep all my stuff, and the heating was always on, so the temperature in there was perfect! I lived in the 3rd floor, with 6 more international students, wich were really nice! We shared the kitchen, the toilet and the shower. The bad points were that the shower was inside the kitchen (we got used to it), that the washing machines where pretty expensive, plus there was only one place to hange on our cloths, so we couldn't wash cloths at the same time coz then, we could not hang them... There wasn't either a common room, but we didn't really care coz we used the kitchen or the biggest bedroom to meet each other. But anyway, I had a lot of fun there :)

Overall great- good location- on the metroline at finsensvej 10mins into the centre, u can easily cycle it asell. Rooms have everything at your fingertips- kitchen, shower, internet and are a decent size- this could make the place feel a bit diconnected sometimes(ie.communal kitches give a community vibe) but it wasnt too big a deal. Plenty of shops on the street. we were lucky to hav basketball courts. good sized hall aswell for hangin out and messy parties. The only drawback was the strictness of the landlords- I think its a danish thing- they take personal offence to rowdiness or uncleanliness, although their tantrums were always quite amusing!

In general housing at this university is very good. Most residences have a phone line and internet. There is however one residence that could use a lot of improvement. This is my residence; we were the only ones who did not have a phone line. The building was very old as well. But the fact that I was among exchange students (around 70, but sharing an appartment with 5 others) and had a good location made up for this all.

I was accomodated in student house; everyone had his ownroom but kitchen, bathrooms and lounge were common. In the summer time it was quite empty but it was very nice to eat and have relax with other students in the lounge. We had some parties in our place with students coming from other accomodation. The place was really nice and it was perfect for social life but we were just twenty in a three floor house with fifty rooms and it was not so close to the campus and the centre of the town.

I am absolutely convinced that International Office at CBS is doing terrific job! In particular, when it comes to housing. Even though, I was a free-mover, they helped me just as any exchange student. Even though CBS itself has only few small dormitories dispersed all over the city, they've got a good network of those who are willing to rent an apartment or a room to international students.

The place I was place in was not as expected, since they have internet pictures that are far from what you receive. This is due to a variety on the kind of appartment among the same residence place. What you get can be really different from what the next door got even though you are paying the same.
