Try to improve the links between the local and the international students. That proves to be very important for those who just arrive.

Try to visit as much in the area.Don't miss Stockholm,a boat trip to Oslo (cheap),ride a bycicle, mingle with the locals, rent a flat with other students and meet people from every corner in the world. Enjoy it!

MaerskAir has often very good offers. Also EasyJet through London. Train tickets to Sweden are more expensive than bus tickets, unless you book in advance.

Final comments

I had a wonderful time in Denmarl. I can recomment a very nice travel route: take a ferry from Copenhagen to Oslo, spend a couple of days in Oslo (they have a couple of very good hostels) and then take a train to Stockholm, and - a train back to Copenhagen (there are special offers for students for ferry tickets).

Law, International, Undergraduate, Erasmus

Academic

Course recommendations

International criminal law, international human rights law and war crimes are all good. Environmental is boring and Understanding the Reasoning of the EC Court & Energy law are difficult. DO THE DANISH LANGUAGE COURSE! It's so much fun!!
