Odense lies in a great central spot to first of all visit other places in Denmark, secondly to see some of the rest of Scandinavia as well. Use that.

Don't spare your efforts at the very beginning of your stay to be part of many social activities (choirs, sport's teams, student's associations, give language courses), so that you get a chance to meet danes, which is really uneasy.

Find a flat close to university or in downtown (shared flat aren't that expensive and a good way to meet locals, but you'll have to find them).

Enjoy the danish calm life : don't play with the rules and respect their ways (lights on bikes).

The ESN-board was one of the bests points to get help from. They and my mentor were my "family" at the begining.
It was OK, I liked to be here, actually, I am waiting for the answer about a job here in Odense.

Odense is more a village than a city and sometimes it was a bit boring... but luckily, Copenhagen was not that far...

This university has a quite good level and the international office and the ESN board welcome the exchange students with a real sense of organisation and friendship

My stay in Denmark has made me realise how isolated you can get if you don't have a basic knowledge of the native language. As a tourist you can do without, but that's not the case if you have to live there for a longer time

Learn Danisch before you leave for Denmark (at least the basic stuff). Although the Danisch speak englisch well, they expect you to learn their language (they are very proud of their culture)It will make you realise how great Denmark and its culture is.

I can recommend to everybody to make a exchange semestre in a foreign country. It is a great expereince because you get to know a lot of new friends from different nationalities and you can improve your language skills. I would recommend to make a danish coures at the beginning of the semestre.
