Personal comments

Although I was not used to speak English before, I was very comfortable with the language because I am used to read and write in English. Almost everyone in Denmark speaks English and well, so it was pretty easy to communicate with everyone. Some friends of mine that almost didn't speak English before ERASMUS improved a lot during their time in Horsens and are now able to use it quite ok.

I was living in a very clean and confortable place and in addition it was very close to the university. Probably it was a little bit expensive but in general Denmark is a very expensive country.

Crazy Daisy-night club in the center of Horsens.Be sure u have somebody to drive u over here, taxis are way too expensive. If u like walking, thats even better.Takes about 20 by feet. All night life is mainly in downtown, so if u like, u can visit fewer clubs more same night, of course if u have money. Students prefer hose partys more, beer is really cheap, and gooood.

I did enjoy a lot the building i was living in. It was the k-block, a block just for international students with all facilities and pretty close to the university.
