Best trips to do?
Everything is too expensive (at least for me), but going to sweeden can be even an hour ride by bus or train, so I really recomend it. Also going to Norway is a great experience. And if you want something cheaper, there is always a week off, either in october (fall semester) or february (spring semester), so you should go there to several places, I did Krakow, Bari and Budapest, (because of personal situations), but I'd also recomend going to other places.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Copenhagen?
So expensive, but, transportation here is insane, everything works amazing. Also, the streets are super clean, and if you collects some cans/ bottles you can go to lidl and get some money back jeje

Would you recommend it?
It was really nice we were 4 sharing it but the landlord were also living in the house even tho we never saw them just to know that they were there may not be really nice. appart from that it was great, the rooms were enough
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
a few bars to choose from, the school also has its own bar (open every Friday 2pm-1am), the bars are always busy, there is always an event to attend at one of them every night of the week!
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
The classes are not too hard, no attendance is mandatory, you can usually use all the material you want during the examination.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is super nice even tho it hasn't a lot of light, free swimming pool and 15€ a month for the gym (open 24/7), registration is super easy (Scandinavian are pretty good with bureaucracy), for the exam you can ask for the ones from the previous years (for me all the exams were the same)
Best trips to do?
Malmø in Sweden is super close you can also go to Copenhagen and Aarchus (2nd biggest city in DK.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Copenhagen?
Everyone has a bike or the tram is 1.30€, nice city but pretty "small" so even tho there's plenty of events it may not be enough for some people, pretty expensive since it's Denmark but I was expecting even worse, the weather was terrible during the first semester (rain 24/7) a bit of snow but manageable. The second semester was great. the danish food is not amazing but there's many places to try it !
