Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU)

It's very hard in Copenhagen to find free places with good prices.Some people are more lucky and some are less.As for the accomodation office, I think that they are doing a lot but still not everything however I don't expect them to do everything. It's true that magazines and advertisements are in Danish but it is no problem asking somebody to translate a small add about appartement rentals.Some people just don't get it that somethings they have to do by their own.The place we got from the acc. office was pretty dirty at the beginning and there were problems with the heating. We fixed a lot of things in the house ,after all we are newcomer engineers and we cleaned the shit that was there. No we are one of the few people to have a supercheap house with a perfect location and a backyard for summer grills, no family but still nothing fancy.

I was really keen to learn Danish (I still don't know why). I did some study before arriving in Denmark and then took advantage of the free courses offered by the government (and co-ordinated with DTU to make it really easy to get involved). I reckon I studied Danish harder than my university subjects and it paid off. After studying at DTU I took 7 months work experience in Aalborg where I met a lot of Danes and I found they were much more friendly if you at least *try* to speak Danish. By the end I passed the government exam (Almenproeve 2) and it just helped me feel a lot more at home in the country. I remember one time when I simply said "Tak" to a waitress and she gave me a big smile--they love it if you just make a little effort to speak the language. The courses offered by the government were great. Completely free and very helpful although you still need to do private study and practise as much as possible. Some people I know have had bad experiences mostly through having a bad teacher but I was very fortunate.

They have not enough place for all their exchange students, maybe they would accept less people form other coutry
