There's not so much in Roskilde in fact but it takes only 25 mintues by train to go to Copenhagen, one of the coolest city I've ever visited. Bars, clubs, concerts, expositions..there is everything!

The international students spoke only English. I wanted to learn Danish and I did in fact but every person, I mean 90%, can speak a very good English. So no problems at all.
