University of Sheffield

Telephone expenses were lower because I hadn't subscribed to a fixed network phone company. Otherwise the expenses were much the same as in Denmark.

I really enjoyed the courses at Sheffield University, especially one called "Language&Organisations". The other two modules I took were "Organisational Behaviour" and "Business Strategy", which were excellent as well. All these modules were taught at the Management Department and I was very happy about my choice of courses.

As I indicated above, the interaction with the local students was rather sporadic. At my home university at that time (CBS) we had a "buddy"-arrangement which offers international and exchange students a source of contact to a local student throughout their stay in Denmark. The local student would thus pick up the guest student at the airport and make sure that they settled in allright, and so on. This sort of concept might help bridging the gap between exchange and local students in Sheffield as well. Besides this, academic life in Sheffield lived fully up to my expectations.
