Like many Chinese students, I always expected to go to university in an English-speaking country. I applied to universities in Canada as well, but I ended up choosing Denmark and Aarhus University for a bunch of reasons. One reason was the low tuition fees compared to Canada and the US, another was the level of English. I knew many Europeans speak English and I knew my programme would be in English, but I didnt know detailed stuff, like whether taxi drivers speak English here, or shopkeepers. Once I was living in Denmark, I found out that Danes speak really good English. Every Dane Ive met so far speaks English better than me. Hanshuo Yang, from China MSc in Computer Engineering programme For me, Denmark hasnt turned out to be more expensive than what I was used to. Most things here cost about the same as they would in a city in the US. Some things, like rents, are actually cheaper. Things that seem expensive at first, like restaurant meals or haircuts, end up costing the same because you dont have to tip here. And a lot of my classmates like to cook, so we often get together for potluck meals, or we all bring wine and snacks and have a cosy night in. I strongly recommend anyone on a budget to make a point of asking their Danish classmates what they do to keep their spending down. I got lots of great tips that way, like which grocery stores are cheaper or which stores and restaurants give student discounts. Elizabeth Lauer, from the United States MA in Intercultural Studies programme A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES* *OR AN OUTDOOR READING SPEED IMPROVER au.dk/summeruniversity BE MORE AT AU SUMMER UNIVERSITY DENMARK I chose AU for the high quality of the programme and for the city. Aarhus is a university city. Its not like other places, where the university is just a part of the city. It makes student life so much nicer. I have a student job here, which I got through a local headhunting network for computer scientists and students. I work as a software developer for Salling Group (Denmarks biggest retail company). I really like the job, because I get practical experience in my field of studies and they see me as an equal to the full-time employees, so they trust me with real tasks. Ive been in Denmark almost four years now, and Ive had a few student jobs. I started with a few cleaning jobs, and that was a good way to begin because it paid my bills. I worked about two to three hours a day, three times a week. After two years in Denmark, I got a job as a student assistant in finance at one of the big wind-turbine manufacturing companies. Its a great job. I work 1020 hours a week depending on the time of year, and they understand if I need to take a few weeks off during the exam period.
