Danmarks Tekniske Universitet (DTU)

Although I would have preferred to live on campus, my house and its location (between university and Copenhagen city centre) were pretty good. The only negative thing was my host was not very friendly with me.

It is not easy to get a room at a dormatory, because appartments in DAnmark are expensive, but ones you have one it is usually really good.

I have no complaints about the provided facilities. There is only one thing that sometimes annoys me. We share the kitchen and take care of cleaning the disks ourselve. Sometimes people get lazy and forget to do that after parties.

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.

In my opinion, they have a big problem with the accommodation of the exchange students. There are a lot of them (more than 500), but only one or two persons working on this aim. Moreover, there are only few posibilities to live in a residence, which is better and cheaper, and I think that it could be nice if they build two or three more (living in a family, which is so common, has not been a good experience for most of the exchange students.

Housing depends very much on the luck you have but it is very difficult to have something good and is always expensive. I was not very lucky first and then I found some other accomodation independently. I have always lived in the Campus but first I was in a place everybody calls "containers" so you can imaging how was that... Then I moved to a typical residence for danish students using the subletting procedure. I was more comfortable there and I payed less as well.
