VIA University College

The place where I lived in - Kamtjatka - is a brand new student house (we were the first students living there) constituted by 3 aggregated buildings. It is located just next to the city center and 10 minutes from the university by bus/bike. The facilities are very good since everything is new and you can have both privacy or fun/bonding with your flat and corridor mates. Boys and girls live together in the same corridor. The flats have a common kitchen and WC, and are shared with one or two persons (the latter is the most common). In the beginning some things were not ready yet, e.g., common rooms, and there was some dust on the corridors, but with time everything got ready and now it is not a problem anymore. The 3 buildings have wireless internet access; it is enough for browsing sites or chatting, but not good if you want to download big files - you should try the university network for that. At some spots the signal is not so good. The alternative to Kamtjatka is the K Block or private flats. K block has a great atmosphere, with lots of students, but the facilities are not as good. You have to share a kitchen and shower with 11 people, although you have a toilet per 2 persons. Private flats have the disadvantage of being a bit isolated from all the other students. Overall, Kamtjatka is probably the best places to stay if you will be studying in Horsens.

The conditions that I used to live in were shocking for me- in the positive manner. The campus was really big and modern, while the rooms stood up to the highest standards. I had my own room, with kitchen and bathroom shared with another Erasmus student. Also the location of the campus was satisfying, because it was in the city center, while being just 10 minutes from school by bike. The price on the other hand was really high, as for east-european conditions, but the host university supported us in paying the rent.

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.

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.

Housing at my host university is very expensive but on the other hand university offer good quality, clean and spacious rooms.

It's a good occasion to exchange moments, opinions and experiences with people that could have different points of view, because of other cultures
