UQ Program: Bachelors of Arts/Journalism
Despite a nasty rumour that suggests otherwise, I was able to complete the final semester of my undergraduate studies on exchange. I decided to do so, taking Political Science classes at the University of Copenhagen. Without overstatement, it was one of the best decisions of my life.
Why?
It was an incredible, friendly and efficient place. I was also able to easily see a lot of Europe, but you probably already knew that. 
Why else?
Denmark is exceptionally different to Australia. The same can be said for many places, yes, but I know of few ESL countries where English is as prevalent. This means less isolation and allows for easier integration. I can’t speak for the whole city, but my Danish friends (mostly fellow residents at my kollegium) all went out of their way to make me feel at home.
Classes were exceptionally different. Most undergraduate courses are in Danish, so I was forced to enrol in 3 post-grad courses. I wasn’t entirely happy about this, but ultimately the workload is whatever you want to make of it (within reason, obviously). 100% oral exams were enjoyable and a welcomed change from the monotony of essays and written exams.
The cost of living was exceptionally different too. There’s no point dancing around the fact Copenhagen is an incredibly expensive city, but there are shortcuts you can take to limit this. A lot (and, to a certain degree, how much you enjoy your exchange) will depend on accommodation. Get in early and don’t depend on the university’s international office to find you a home. Demand for housing outstrips supply by some margin, I even met some students in week 3 and 4 who were still living in hostels and hotels.
My only complaint is that I was unable to stay for two semesters. Don’t make the same mistake. Organise your exchange ASAP.
