Everything was perfectly organised. The DIS stuff wanted us to feel like home and was really helpful. I loved all the courses, the way we were taught. It was the best experience in my life!.

Course recommendations
Pretty good, except that I cannot speak Danish, so it brings some problem in communication with the local students.

more interaction with danish students, and maybe less reading, and more assignments. (Believe me, your brain will be craving information)

Personal comments
A lot of the other exchange students had problems with their landladies/-lords and the rooms have been very expensive sometimes. I was one of the few very lucky ones with a quite cheap room in a great area and great flatmates.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
Government assistance
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
I didn't have to pay for the accomodation, the food and the telephone as these were paid from the governmental scholarship money. As I got some pocket money as well - I didn't spend a single penny from the money I brought from home. But I must admit the nightlife and the travel is soooo expensive in Denmark!
