Personal comments

Boogies is perfect for dancing. Cockoo's nest is the best choice for having a coffe or chocolate while talking: sometimes with live music. Cheapest prices are found in the hall of residences' pubs (don't miss the 'Larmer' on Friday in Teknisk. The 'Christmas beer's day' is unbelievable: free beer all around the town! Do not miss some big party in the university corridors (dress smart if you intend to pull). Take advantage of the International day of Museums to see most of them (mainly Den Fynske Landsby, Bymuseet and Carl Nielsen Museet). And take part in some event arranged by 'Casa Cultural'(mainly formed by people interested in Spanish and Latin American culture);they make great parties and are very open-minded.

The student residence where I was living was well located (in the city and near the university) and full of exchange students from all around the world. It was really friendly.
