Overall
I wish I had known...
there were considerable cultural differences that i was not expecting. Danes certainly have interesting manners. Politeness and etiquette are very different over there.

Personal recommendation
the university was not bad. I met some very helpful and friendly people. However, the class choices were quite narrow and I did not find the work in any way challenging.

Final comments
My overall experience in Copenhagen was (as previous comments indicate) not a very positive one. However, it is a very attractive city and has a lot of things going for it. I believe that I just wasn't a good match for it. That said, I have since returned to visit friends and had some loely times there.

“An international setting with thorough understanding regarding discussion”

Overall
I believe that the university brought many positive things into my life. Its departments which are not bound by the restrictive rules, teachers who are quite open to discussion and away from being rude, and finally a great old campus that is being said to have some ghosts.. These create a great sense of community and educating oneself in the rainy, windy and cold yet beautiful city of Copenhagen.

Personal comments
I bought a second hand TV for 250DKK on a Danish internet site for buying and selling second hand goods. Also staying in student halls of residence is by far the cheapest accomodation

Ask for help finding where to go for your residence permit and social security number - or you'll never find the buildings!

Personal recommendation
Copenhagen University is a beautiful University in a beautiful city. It is not a campus University, so you don't always feel like a student, but you are more integrated in city life.

Final comments
Try to spend time with Danes and learn their language and you will probably get more from the experience than if you just stick with fellow international students.

The housing service of Copenhagen University is not very helpful. The International Office didn't manage to provide all of the students with housing offers.
