This guide will introduce you to some of the most beautiful and iconic places in Denmark, and tell you how to get there in order to build and refresh your impression of Denmark as a country.<\/p>\n<p>All transportation and pricing tips are from Copenhagen, except the last tip, which starts from Aalborg.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Louisiana Museum of Modern Art<\/h2>\n<p><em>Address: Gammel Strandvej 13, 3050 Humleb\u00e6k.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.louisiana.dk\" target=\"blank\">Louisiana<\/a> is the most visited and one of the most famous modern art museums in Denmark. With a large range of collections, temporary exhibitions, live events and a killer landscape, it&#8217;s a classic go-to favourite for a day off.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 1 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The museum of modern art lies on the beautiful east coast of Denmark around 35 km north of Copenhagen. You can get here by taking the regional train from Copenhagen Central Station or N\u00f8rreport towards Helsing\u00f8r station. The train runs every 20 minutes and takes 45 minutes. Details:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An entrance ticket to Louisiana costs DKK 110 for a student and DKK 125 for a regular adult. If you&#8217;re lucky enough to be 27 or younger, we suggest getting a club card. It costs DKK 135 and will give you one year of free entrance and 10% discount on everything.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t have a rejsekort (and there are <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/rejsekort-how-to-use-the-puzzling-danish-travel-card\/\" target=\"blank\">unfortunately plenty of reasons not to<\/a>), the train ticket to Humleb\u00e6k costs DKK 92 one-way. We suggest getting a 24-hour ticket. It will set you back DKK 160 and can take you there and back, or anywhere you want within the east Zealand area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total cost: DKK 270<\/strong> (transport + entrance)<\/p>\n<h2>2. Kronborg Castle &#8211; where &#8216;Hamlet&#8217; took place<\/h2>\n<p><em>Address: Kronborg, 3000 Helsing\u00f8r<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kronborg Castle is the fictitious location of the famous Shakespeare play <em>Hamlet<\/em>. Every summer there are live Shakespeare plays at the theatre called <em>Hamletscenen<\/em> at the castle. Previous Hamlet&#8217;s here include Laurence Olivier, Derek Jacobi, and Jude Law.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 2 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It will take roughly an hour to get to Kronborg Castle from Copenhagen Central Station by regional train towards Helsing\u00f8r, 45 minutes on train and 20 minutes on foot, the exact same train you should take to Louisiana:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It will cost the same for transportation if you buy the 24-hour ticket mentioned for your trip to Louisiana. Rejsekort is the second cheapest option.<\/li>\n<li>The ticket for entering the castle June- August is DKK 135 kr for a student, and otherwise DKK 145.<\/li>\n<li>Outside peak season, tickets are much cheaper, at DKK 85 for a student.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total cost: DKK 295<\/strong>\u00a0(transport + entrance + play)<\/p>\n<h2>3. Roskilde &#8211; Copenhagen&#8217;s viking neighbour<\/h2>\n<p>There a many good reasons to go to Roskilde. The famous <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roskilde-festival.dk\/\" target=\"blank\">Roskilde Festival<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk\/en\/\" target=\"blank\">the Viking Ship Museum<\/a>, and the world heritage site <a href=\"https:\/\/roskildedomkirke.dk\/english\/\">Roskilde Cathedral<\/a>. Because it is so close to Copenhagen, it is a perfect destination for you to take a day off during one of your weekends in Denmark.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 3 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It takes around 25 minutes to get to Roskilde by train from Copenhagen Central Station and it departs quite often. The train ticket costs DKK 84 one-way, but is much cheaper using Rejsekort or, once more, a 24-hour-pass.<\/li>\n<li>The Viking Ship Museum ticket costs between DKK 90 and 110 for students depending on the time of the year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total cost: DKK 160<\/strong> (transport only)<\/p>\n<h2>4. Aarhus + ARoS Art Museum<\/h2>\n<p><em>Address: Aros All\u00e9 2, 8000 Aarhus<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.aros.dk\/visit-aros\" target=\"blank\">ARoS museum<\/a> is located in the city of Aarhus, which was recently rated as the second best destination in Europe by the Lonely Planet. Aarhus is quite a relaxing place &#8211; a good place for a day off. When in Aarhus, visiting ARoS museum is a must! Don\u2019t forget to try the famous rainbow panorama at the top.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 4 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The journey from Copenhagen to Aarhus takes 3.3 hours by train and around 4 hours by bus (and 40 minutes by plane if you&#8217;re made of money).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A train ticket costs between DKK 89 and DKK 200, depending on when you book and whether or not you have a DSB Ungdomsbillet for the under-25s and students. We recommend taking the bus which only costs DKK 100 if you take it during off-peak hours. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kombardoexpressen.dk\/\" target=\"blank\">get bus tickets here<\/a> but there are other bus options also.<\/li>\n<li>Spending a night in Aarhus costs approximately DKK 200 using Airbnb.<\/li>\n<li>A ticket to the ARoS museum costs DKK 100 if you are under 30 or a student, DKK 130 if not, and free if you are under 18 years old.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total cost: DKK 700<\/strong>\u00a0(transport + museum + accommodation for two nights)<\/p>\n<h2>5. Anholt &#8211; the island in the middle of Kattegat<\/h2>\n<p>This is a somewhat out of the ordinary destination. Anholt is located in the middle of the Kattegat sea. The landscape is very unique with the sparse vegetation of its desert covering 80 per cent of the island. There are also various activities during the whole summer, such as music festivals, outdoor yoga sessions, and a local football tournament.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 5 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get to Anholt you need to take a bus to Grenaa which takes around 4 hours and a ferry that takes another 3 hours. Options for overnight stay include camping sites, AirBnB, and vacation home rental &#8211; this last option can be an amazing experience if you go as a large group.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A return trip from Copenhagen to Grenaa with bus costs DKK 200 each way. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flixbus.dk\/?_sp=3ecfd42b-f77b-441c-a457-8f74a3a1f094.1561372328210&amp;atb_pdid=bfc58513-fe87-4083-b405-2a0aa0d59359&amp;_ga=2.28072828.1398223588.1561372198-1768953412.1561372198&amp;wt_eid=2156137219767289606&amp;wt_t=1561372328266\" target=\"blank\">get tickets here.<\/a><\/li>\n<li>A return trip to Grenaa with ferry costs DKK 370 during peak season. Only DKK 140 off season. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anholtfergen.dk\/priser\/\" target=\"blank\">get information and book tickets here.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total transport costs: DKK 570<\/strong> (accommodation prices vary)<\/p>\n<h2>6. Jomfru Ane Gade &#8211; one of the most famous bar streets<\/h2>\n<p><em>Address: Jomfru Ane Gade, 9000 Aalborg<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitaalborg.com\/ln-int\/aalborg\/tourist\" target=\"blank\">Jomfru Ane Gade<\/a> is located in Aalborg, the fourth largest city in Denmark, built right by Limfjorden. Limfjord is technically a fjord, but looks more like a river than pictures you&#8217;ll have seen of Norwegian fjords. Right in the heart of this laid-back city lies the most famous bar street in Denmark, Jomfru Ane Gade. With countless bars and nightclubs, the street is sleepless at night. Friday nights are particularly good!<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 6 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To get to Aalborg by public transport, you have three options &#8211; by air, by train and by bus. Flying to Aalborg takes about 1.5 hours, around 5 hours by train and around 6 hours by bus.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It costs around DKK 500 to get to Aalborg by air, between DKK 89 and DKK 250 by train (depending on how far in advance you book, and whether or not you have a DSB Ungdomsbillet).<\/li>\n<li>This would not be a one-day trip, hence you will also need to spend on a place to stay. Places go from around DKK 200 per night on AirBnB.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total cost: DKK 650<\/strong> (transport + accommodation)<\/p>\n<h2>7. Grenen &#8211; Denmark ends here<\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have visited Aalborg, there is absolutely no reason not to take a detour to Grenen. Grenen, which literally translates to &#8216;the branch&#8217; is the northern most point in Denmark. It is located close to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skagen-tourist.dk\/ln-int\/north-jutland\/welcome-skagen\" target=\"blank\">Skagen, a beautiful town<\/a>. As a traditional summer destination, Skagen has the perfect mix of both historical and cultural elements, and beautiful landscapes. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skagensmuseum.dk\/en\/frontpage\/\" target=\"blank\">Skagen Museum<\/a> features the works of famous Skagen-painters from the late 1800s. Although you can\u2019t look over to Norway or Sweden at Grenen, it feels special to know that there are two other countries right across the sea.<br \/>\n<!-- end of module 7 --><br \/>\n<strong>Transportation &amp; Budget<\/strong><br \/>\nIn order to get from Aalborg to Skagen, you take the train to Frederikshavn Station, then change to a local train (run by a different company which requires a different ticket). It will take you around 2 hours from Aalborg to Skagen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Though you can rent places in Skagen, the cheapest option is to return to Aalborg and stay there.<\/li>\n<li>A ticket to Skagen Museum costs DKK 110.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Total cost: Approx. DKK 400<\/strong>\u00a0(if you go from and stay in Aalborg)<\/p>\n<p><em>Have any other suggestions?

Save up<\/h2>\r\nIt costs money to begin at university. Between all the trips to IKEA, the books, and the travel cards for commuting, starting to study can end up being expensive, so it's smart to save up a bit before you take off. There are also expenses for social activities such as introduction week, which you can easily forget on the go \u2013 and all the beers you are going to drink at the Friday bar don\u2019t pay for themselves.\r\n<h2>2. Learn the lingo<\/h2>\r\nOn campus you will hear many new and strange expressions \u2013 they are a part of the particular language code that is used on campus. The UCPH language is a distinctive \u00a0[secrettext face=\"sociolect\" text=\"variant of a language used by members of a specific social group - a kind of group language\"]\u00a0filled with absurd abbreviations and very long words that it takes time to learn. Do yourself a favour and read up on some of the university's lingo before starting studies so you can easier follow the conversation and laugh at the right time. We have done some of the work for you on Danish university-related terminology. Find our (Danish) guide to uni-lingo<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/uni-lingo-din-ordbog-til-koebenhavns-universitet\/\"> here<\/a>.\r\n<h2>3. Make friends<\/h2>\r\nEven though there are many things you have to keep track of, make a point of showing up at social events and Friday bars on your new study programme \u2013 even if you don\u2019t feel in a festive mood. You can just drink a tonic without the gin, the important thing is that you spend time with your new classmates and make an effort to get to know them. This community may carry you through the really tough, troubled times of your programme of study \u2013 like having to study for a new exam in methodology.\r\n<h2>4. Have hobbies<\/h2>\r\nExtra-curricular activities can give you back the energy for your daily life. It can be anything from embroidery, to a trip to the practice room, the gym or football pitch, and this will give you significantly less of a bad conscience than a Netflix marathon, and it will make your studies easier. Not everything in your life needs to be about your new study programme, and it's both healthy and nice to take a break and clear your head.\r\n<h2>5. Relax<\/h2>\r\nRemember to \u2018check out\u2019 every now and again, and take a break. Thousands of things happen at the start of your studies, and it's not easy to be both social with your new reading group, and keep up old friendships, while at the same time being a good student and reading up on your entire syllabus. Give yourself breaks and breathers along the way - it's okay. Nobody can do everything all the time \u2013 even if it looks that way on Instagram. It is, seriously, not good to end up as a stress statistic.\r\n<h2>6. Be social<\/h2>\r\nIt might be a good idea to sign up for the Friday bar committee, the book club or any other campus associations. You learn to know the university in a completely different way when you commit to more than just reading the curriculum. It's also a great opportunity to get to know people from other student cohorts and study programmes \u2013 something that might otherwise be difficult.\r\n<h2>7. Study the right way<\/h2>\r\nNow there is no right or wrong way to study. But you could easily be led to imagine that other students sit in the reading room until late into the night while they are at the same time engaged in all the different clubs and\u00a0 associations of their programme, and that this must be the right way to be a university student. It is not. There are as many ways of being a student as there are students. We all tackle uni-life differently and have different priorities and preferences \u2013 and this is perfectly normal!\r\n<h2>8. Drop the grades race<\/h2>\r\nGrades in high school and at university are not the same. Your grades at university do not have the same implications, and you are also assessed on a completely different skills set. So you don\u2019t have to worry about falling down the scale \u2013 most of us do. As long as you try to understand the material, things usually go well. In 2 years\u2019 time (or in 2 months\u2019 time) no one, including yourself, will remember, or care, about whether you got a \u201812\u2019 or a \u20184\u2019 in the first year's exam in science theory.\r\n<h2>9. Use the re-examinations<\/h2>\r\nAt university you usually have three attempts to pass an exam, and there is absolutely no shame in doing a re-examination. You can use the opportunity to redo an exam if you don\u2019t have the opportunity to prepare yourself properly or if you have many exams on top of each other. Re-examination can be a planning tool that reduces the pressure during the exam period. It can give you more peace of mind and can be an opportunity for you to prepare better.\r\n<h2>10. Make demands<\/h2>\r\nYou study at university for your own sake, and so it is legitimate for you to make demands on your fellow students and instructors. You have the right to question \u2013 or complain about \u2013 the decisions of the university, faculty or the decisions of your instructor. Every fifth exam complaint ends up being ruled in favour of the student, so even though it may seem time consuming or bureaucratic, it is not useless. Many of the guidance staff are students themselves and they are there for your sake, so do not hesitate to go to them if you need some advice.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"10 things I should have known before I started university","post_excerpt":"Go to re-examination, forget about your grades, and make demands.

If you are not a Dane, you need a residence permit and a CPR number, and then there is the <em>Nemkonto<\/em> account system.\r\n\r\nAnd then there is the choice of which bank to use in the first place.\r\n\r\nBut as a newcomer to Danish banks, starting the process early can avoid massive international transaction fees.\r\n\r\nCharging transaction fees is a lucrative earner for financial institutions. However, for students based in Denmark, setting up an account can slash the cost of accessing cash from a machine or paying with a foreign bank card.\r\n<h2>Avoid extortion<\/h2>\r\nKate Rayden, an exchange student from the University of Leeds (UK), was paying extra fees every time she made a purchase or withdrew from her British account.\r\n<blockquote>If you want to avoid paying extortionate fees you need to get going as soon as you arrive in Denmark\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Kate Rayden, exchange student<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n\u00bbThroughout my whole time on exchange I\u2019ve been charged DKK 3850 in bank fees. That\u2019s equivalent to one month\u2019s Erasmus grant! It doesn\u2019t even include the DKK 1535 I was charged when paying for accommodation. I really regret not getting it sorted sooner,\u00ab Kate says.\r\n\r\n\u00bbI think my bank was particularly bad, but if you want to avoid paying extortionate fees you need to get going as soon as you arrive in Denmark.\u00ab\r\n\r\nSo with this in mind, here are a few tips on how to move your money over to the Danish banking system.\r\n<h2>CPR registration<\/h2>\r\nGetting a personal identification number is a must for sorting out anything admin-related in Denmark. The CPR number crops up in a number of unlikely situations - whether it\u2019s borrowing a library book or topping up a mobile \u2013 and of course, it\u2019s crucial for getting a bank account.\r\n\r\nTo get a CPR number you first need a residence permit. To accommodate the large numbers of incoming EU and EEA students, the University of Copenhagen has previously hosted government officials at the start of each semester. Upcoming registration days are posted on the University of Copenhagen's website. With the correct documentation, you can walk away with a Residence Permit and CPR number in a fraction of the normal time.\r\n\r\nFor non-EU or EEA citizens, getting things are a little trickier. Due to the long application process, the University of Copenhagen advises students to \u00bbstart the application process immediately upon receipt of the letter of admission\u00ab. The Danish government also want fingerprints, proof of financial support and a processing fee.\r\n<h2>NemID and NemKonto<\/h2>\r\nAnother thing to consider before hitting the high street is Denmark\u2019s <em>NemKonto<\/em> or \u2018Easy Account\u2019. Every citizen and company must assign one bank account into which all payments from the public sector are made.\r\n<blockquote>We\u2019ll order the NemID for you if you need to do online home banking\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Ulla Pederson, Arbejdernes Landsbank<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nYou can designate your NemKonto when opening your new account with your bank advisor.\r\n\r\nWith the NemKonto comes the <em>NemID<\/em> \u2013 your key to digital Denmark. The number card arrives in the post a few days after set-up and can be used as a digital signature for accessing public websites and online banking. Whilst the terminology might be unfamiliar, the NemID and NemKonto are easy to get to grips with and simplify much of the online-banking paperwork.\r\n<h2>Major Danish banks<\/h2>\r\nSo then it comes down to the choice of banks. Here is a selection of the most well-known ones in Denmark.\r\n<h3>1. Arbejdernes landsbank<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.al-bank.dk\/en\/in-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arbejdernes Landsbank<\/a> is amongst the nation\u2019s seven largest banks with over 70 branches across the country. According to Ulla Pederson at the Sluseholmen branch (Sydhavn), there are no fees involved in setting up an account and all information is available online in English. The time to set up an account varies - it could be one week or two but it really depends on how busy they are.\r\n\r\n\u00bbFor students I'd recommend a normal salary account. We\u2019ll need ID - the yellow card (health insurance card) and passport. We usually need a tax report from Skat (tax authority) if you require additional services. We\u2019ll order the NemID for you if you need to do online home banking,\u00ab she says.\r\n<h3>2. Nordea<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordea.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nordea<\/a> is the largest financial services group in Northern Europe and operates numerous branches in Copenhagen and across Denmark.\r\n\r\nThe bank was too busy to speak to the University Post about its services in all of the three branches that we visited, so Nordea is evidently a popular choice for customers in the capital.\r\n\r\nThe bank does not offer private online banking in English but does provide services in Danish, Norwegian, Swedish and Finnish, and can charge small fees to its <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nordea.dk\/Privat\/Daglig+%C3%B8konomi\/Konti+og+betalinger\/Grundkonto\/35062.html?WT.mc_id=426\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">basic account<\/a>, up to DKK 340 per year.\r\n<h3>3. Nykredit<\/h3>\r\nSimilar to Arbejdernes Landsbank in offering a free salary account with card, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nykredit.com\/en-gb\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nykredit<\/a> offers speedy set-up with recent upgrades to its service.\r\n\r\n\u00bbWe actually just changed our system so you can get onboard digitally on your smartphone or iPad. It only takes ten minutes although the card has to be ordered and takes about 5 days. You\u2019ll need picture ID - but you can take a photo of that with your smartphone,\u00ab says Lene Corklunge, employee at the Amager office.\r\n\r\n\u00bbSome parts of our website are in English but not all - we\u2019re working on it! We are more than happy to have international customers and of course in Copenhagen we\u2019re especially eager to have as much in English on the site as possible,\u00ab she says.\r\n<h3>4. Danske Bank<\/h3>\r\nEstablished in 1871, Denmark\u2019s largest bank owns a host of branches around the centre of Copenhagen and provides 24 hour contact services.\r\n\r\nThe institution offers full services in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danskebank.dk\/en-dk\/Personal\/Pages\/personal.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English online<\/a>.\r\n\r\nA student-friendly option is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danskebank.dk\/en-dk\/Personal\/day-to-day\/Customer-programme\/Pages\/Danske-Studie.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Danske Studie<\/em><\/a> package. If you are 18-32 years old and getting <em>SU<\/em> (the Danish study grant), most of the basic banking services will be available for free. That includes withdrawing cash from other banks' ATMs and exchanging foreign currency.\r\n<h3>5. Jyske Bank<\/h3>\r\nHeadquartered in Silkeborg, Jutland, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jyskebank.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jyske bank<\/a> is smaller than Danske Bank - operating with the third largest market share in Denmark.\r\n\r\nAccording to Bente Juul-Pedersen, department director at the office on Amagerbrogade, the bank charges various fees with different accounts but does have an English homepage.\r\n\r\n\u00bbTo set up an account you\u2019ll need your yellow card, some documentation to show where you live and something about your economic history, such as an old bank statement,\u00ab says Bente Juul-Pedersen.\r\n<h3>6. Sydbank<\/h3>\r\nAs its name suggests, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sydbank.dk\/privat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sydbank<\/a> focuses its operations in southern Jutland, however the company does have a number of branches in Copenhagen.\r\n\r\nCustomer assistant Ibrahim Zulfovski points out that:\r\n\r\n\u00bbWhilst the bank requires an \u00bbannual tax statement, valid ID and three recent payslips, we do offer a number of special rewards for students.\u00ab\r\n<h2>Put off by paperwork<\/h2>\r\nSo that was the banks. Make your choice.\r\n\r\nBack to Kate. She has now set up an account with Nordea - a move which has significantly reduced her monthly expenditure. While she believes she has paid more than other students, her experience is not isolated.\r\n\r\nLike Kate, many students studying in Denmark for a few months are put off by the time required to set up an account and the hassle of foreign paperwork.\r\n\r\n\u00bbIt\u2019s a common problem because of the lengthy process - CPR number, NemID and then a week before you can use the account,\u00ab Kate says, \u00bbso it probably takes over a month before everything is set up and ready to go.\u00ab\r\n\r\nAny tips?

It has been updated 29 June 2019.<\/em>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"dropcap\">L<\/span>eave Copenhagen with no regrets. This is what it is all about.\r\n\r\nSo we asked Danish and international students at the University of Copenhagen to contribute to this, the ultimate bucket list of must-have experiences in Copenhagen!\r\n<h3>1. Buy a bike<\/h3>\r\nThe city\u2019s hidden caf\u00e9s, perfect picnic spots and other treasures can be best found on two wheels. Not only is it the most common form of transportation, but it is also the cheapest and often the fastest way to get around. Bikes can be purchased in bike shops across the city, police auctions or in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/679190302108427\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook group 'Buy a Bike Copenhagen'.<\/a>\r\n<h3>2. Attend the Stella Polaris Music Festival<\/h3>\r\nAt the end of July and beginning of August, thousands of music fans flock to these free concerts throughout Denmark that host both up-and-coming and established artists. Purchasing beer and cider at the event helps support the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stella-polaris.dk\/%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> free event<\/a>, but many also bring their own beverages.\r\n<h3>3. Stay out past sunrise<\/h3>\r\nTake advantage of the long, Nordic summer sun and end the evening with a kebab (or falafel): a staple in student drinking culture.\r\n<h3>4. Visit the markets in Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\nThe food market at <em>Israel Plads<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/torvehallernekbh.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Torvehallerne <\/a>, can be visited throughout the year, and flea markets (called <em>loppemarkeder<\/em> in Danish) are open during the summer months. <a href=\"https:\/\/studenterhuset.com\/en\/store\/fleamarket\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Studenterhuset <\/a>regularly houses an indoor student market.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n<h3>5. Attend the matriculation ceremony<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s a great opportunity to begin the academic year by meeting other students and university staff over free drinks and food. <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/pictures-from-the-matriculation-ceremony-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> See the University Post's photo series from the 2018 matriculation <\/a>.\r\n<h3>6. Attend your department\u2019s introduction trip or <em>rustur<\/em><\/h3>\r\nThe trip often takes place the weekend before your classes start as a way to bond with other new students in your field. But beware: the trips are <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/rituals-for-new-students-involved-profanity-sexism-degradation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> notorious <\/a> for non-stop drinking and occasional hazing.\r\n<h3>7. Live in a student dormitory or shared apartment for at least one semester<\/h3>\r\nHaving other students around provides you with a wider social network and the opportunity for unexpected friendships. See the University Post's series <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/tag\/dorms-disclosed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Dorms Disclosed <\/a> to help you find which dorm might suit you best.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n<h3>8. Participate in a sports team<\/h3>\r\nThe student sports association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usg.dk\/signup\/emne\/\">KSI<\/a> offers everything from climbing and kayaking, to yoga and burlesque or handball and water polo.\r\n<h3>9. Sign up for a class that has nothing to do with your study area<\/h3>\r\nAt a university that offers classes about topics ranging from beer brewing to terrorism, you can't afford not to.\r\n<h3>10. Skip your 8 am class at least once and still manage to get a good grade<\/h3>\r\nSometimes more important things, like concerts, midnight movies, or unexpected nights out, require your attention instead.\r\n<h3>11. Take a foreign language course<\/h3>\r\nIf you\u2019re an international student, learning a bit of Danish will give you a more enriched and easier experience living in Denmark. If you're a Danish student, you should take advantage of the many language opportunities. For example, through <em><a href=\"http:\/\/aabentuniversitet.hum.ku.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \u00c5bent Universitet <\/a><\/em> and brush up on your Spanish or Arabic to make you a more competitive hire and a savvy traveler.\r\n<h3>12. Go dumpster diving<\/h3>\r\nA student budget can often use a little boost, and with people finding everything from olives to marzipan, to blueberries, it wouldn\u2019t hurt to save a couple kroner and try it out. Join this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/591326754289085\/?fref=mentions&amp;__xts__[0]=68.ARA88q5FwSiOisEfTsiSx96hT9_8k50SzLuBsboL9mwvNK7OvY_cvVs-D6cm2HI2UkEbZ4ECYDhsEnDPu4mLndFRH6eCGV_6drjEQIm6HOGKArIAPv4S0ijDnMsQQbxNzbxVCetDvow1WFdsyd6F5YA1eKGUkvouD10khmDnXkGtEAE3oFBH9-vaqhopMmaCe0PrqPwdRxTDOBCwxEUzxuHGURkzpm0ue7uBGla9MukmvRqTLIA4zPTcqCyakr2q5PD2HKo5V_ftT4tw6FgLW0HctiBWiQJLBGWP3SzYIK2jmMRx_fOArrADCuPgN9xGuaMrZZac5X1fdIgopdMhS4-5Og&amp;__tn__=K-R\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> facebook group <\/a>. But don\u2019t forget about <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/night-patrol-dumpster-diving-food-copenhagen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> proper dumpster diving etiquette <\/a>.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\n<h3>13. Get a student job<\/h3>\r\nEven students on non-EU visas can work up to 15 hours a week, so find something to supplement your income. If you enjoy writing, you could even apply to the University Post or our Danish counterpart, <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uniavisen.dk\">Uniavisen<\/a>.<\/em>\r\n<h3>14. Experience Culture Night<\/h3>\r\nPeople can, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kulturnatten.dk\/en\/culture-night\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> for one night a year <\/a>, take part in cultural events from watching a drag show to checking out the university's normally closed-off laboratories, as well as gaining access into many of the city\u2019s museums for free.\r\n<h3>15. Watch a movie (or two) at Copenhagen Dox<\/h3>\r\nThe <a href=\"https:\/\/cphdox.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> documentary festival <\/a> shows documentaries from all over the world and made on an endless number of subjects, so you\u2019re bound to find something you enjoy. If you don\u2019t have the time or money and are lucky, they will show some of the movies for free online at the end of the series.\r\n<h3>16. Spend all day at a caf\u00e9<\/h3>\r\nStudying, reading, catching up with a friend, anything.\n<!-- end of module 4 -->\n<h3>17. Get out of Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\nExchange students need to remember that Denmark isn\u2019t just Copenhagen, and Danes need to remember there are beautiful places between their parents' home and school. For a smaller commitment: a day trip to <a href=\"http:\/\/J\u00e6gersborg_Dyrehavehttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/\"><em>Dyrehaven<\/em> (the deer park)<\/a> or <em>Roskilde<\/em>. For the ambitious: <em>Skagen, Bornholm<\/em>, or <em>M\u00f8ns Klint<\/em>.\r\n<h3>18. Check out the view from the Church of our Saviour (Vor Frelsers Kirke)<\/h3>\r\nThis <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vorfrelserskirke.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> church in Christianshavn <\/a> offers an unbeatable view of the city on a sunny day.\r\n<h3>19. Watch a football game at Parken<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.teliaparken.dk\/kalender\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Denmark's largest stadium <\/a> which is just around the corner for many students at the University of Copenhagen's North Campus. Even if you\u2019re not a sports fan, you can still enjoy the beer, hotdogs, crowd, and, likely, even some fireworks.\r\n<h3>20. Volunteer<\/h3>\r\nVolunteering is a great opportunity to meet other people with similar interests and values. Some examples throughout the city are volunteering with asylum seekers, supporting local, organic farms in Copenhagen, or being a barista or bartender. Try <a href=\"http:\/\/trampolinehouse.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Trampoline House <\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/kbhff.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Copenhagen's Food Co-operative <\/a>, or at <em><a href=\"http:\/\/studenterhuset.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Studenterhuset <\/a><\/em>.\n<!-- end of module 5 -->\n<h3>21. Take part in a student protest or cause<\/h3>\r\nStudents are traditionally loud voices in protests, whether it be for animal rights, anti-racism or against education cuts, so join the cause and make your opinion heard. A few years ago for example, tens of thousands of <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/30000-protested-against-danish-cuts-to-education\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students protested cuts to education<\/a>.\r\n<h3>22. Walk in the botanical gardens<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/botanik.snm.ku.dk\/english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> The gardens <\/a> are open for a large part of the year, and while you\u2019re\u00a0sitting at the Social Science Library stressing out about finals, a quick walk in the calm, beautiful nature right in the city centre can be a great stress reliever.\r\n<h3>23. Study in the Royal Library<\/h3>\r\nNot only is the exercise to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kb.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the library <\/a> good for you, but the Royal Library (<em>Det Kongelige Bibliotek<\/em>) is a study haven. With a caf\u00e9, public computers, room for groups and a silent, beautiful study room with antique green lamps and blankets, you'll be inspired to come back and finish that paper.\n<!-- end of module 6 -->\n<h3>24. Take advantage of half off drink nights<\/h3>\r\nBuying a delicious whiskey sour or a cucumber ginger collins is that much easier when they are the same price as a beer.\r\n<h3>25. Attend a lecture at the university<\/h3>\r\nWhether you want to listen to a <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/ex-nato-boss-and-danish-pm-anders-fogh-rasmussen-to-speak-at-ucph\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> former Prime Minister <\/a> speak or hear about the <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/erotic-capital-danish-women-losing-out\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> power of sexuality, <\/a> the university hosts hundreds of talks a year. If you're lucky, you may even find an advisor or inspiration for your thesis.\r\n<h3>26. Host or attend a Tour de Chambre Party<\/h3>\r\nDespite the French name, Tour de Chambre parties are extremely popular among Danish students, so begin planning the theme and drink for your room now.\r\n<h3>27. Go to Christiania<\/h3>\r\nAn autonomous largely self-sustaining community constructed in an abandoned military barracks, Christiania is a huge cultural hub in the city. They have free concerts, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scienceandcocktails.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">science and cocktails<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.morgenstedet.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a tasty vegetarian restaurant<\/a>, and a beautiful waterfront.\n<!-- end of module 7 -->\n<h3>28. Attend Friday bar<\/h3>\r\nEach campus hosts a Friday bar with different perks. Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/the-great-ucph-friday-bar-guide\/\">great University of Copenhagen Friday Bar guide.<\/a>\r\n<h3>29. Visit Tivoli<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s a given, as one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tivoli.dk\/en\/program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> most popular attractions in the city-centre <\/a>, but remember to go before it closes, as <em>Tivoli<\/em> is only open summer, Christmas, and Halloween. The University Post recommends either the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fredagsrock.dk\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> friday night concerts <\/a> or the Christmas themed Tivoli, full of <em>gl\u00f8gg<\/em> and <em>\u00e6bleskiver<\/em>.\r\n<h3>30. Experience a Danish <em>julefrokost<\/em><\/h3>\r\nFor the internationals that have never experienced one, they have very specific food and customs, like eating herring and rye bread, and drinking lots and lots of snaps. Be sure to also play a round or two of <em>pakkeleg<\/em>!\r\n<h3>31. Pull an all-nighter finishing a project or term paper<\/h3>\r\n24-hour access to libraries during exam periods ensures that you wont fall asleep on your computer as easily. Some libraries at the University of Copenhagen have access 24\/7 with a library card.\n<!-- end of module 8 -->\n<h3>32. Experience a Copenhagen New Year<\/h3>\r\nWith easy accessibility to fireworks and champagne, the night can get a little bit crazy, but the views are amazing. The University Post recommends standing near the lakes, near <em>Dronning Louise's Bro<\/em> as it offers a 365-degree view of the city's fireworks. Remember your protective goggles!\r\n<h3>33. Celebrate Fastelavn<\/h3>\r\nThis, a Danish festival mostly for kids, but more and more for grown ups too, lets you get dressed up in weird costumes, bash a barrel with a bat, and eat candy.\r\n<h3>34. Take advantage of the Copenhagen music scene<\/h3>\r\nWhile the city attracts world-renowned artists, it's also a great opportunity to learn about popular Danish artists such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M5uIVBxWZVU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> M\u00f8<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OqGBJRKcvFM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Rasmus Seebach<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OY9eTihrKM0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Nephew<\/a>. Popular venues include <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livenation.dk\/venue\/4638\/falconer-salen-tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em> Falconer Salen<\/em> <\/a> and <em><a href=\"http:\/\/vega.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Vega <\/a><\/em>.\r\n<h3>35. Take advantage of small Danish holidays, especially in the spring<\/h3>\r\nIs it Saint Martin\u2019s Day (<em>Mortensaften<\/em>)? Have some duck or goose. Great Prayer Day (<em>Store Bededag<\/em>)? Try some traditional Danish hvede buns. If it's a public holiday with no school, it may also be the perfect opportunity to take a day trip.\n<!-- end of module 9 -->\n<h3>36. Get published in the University Post<\/h3>\r\nHave a strong opinion about the university, student culture, or something else related? Did you take a great photo at a protest or social event? Submit your work and get yourself seen and heard.\r\n<h3>37. Visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art<\/h3>\r\nIt is well worth the 45-minute trip out to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.louisiana.dk\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> the museum<\/a>. Louisiana is secluded, surrounded by a garden, and overlooks the <em>\u00d8resund<\/em> straights. Leave enough time to see the exhibitions as well as a picnic outdoors or a meal in their deluxe cafeteria.\r\n<h3>38. Have a drink on Dronning Louises Bro<\/h3>\r\nIt's a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.visitcopenhagen.com\/copenhagen\/dronning-louises-bro-gdk699876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a bridge <\/a> crossing the lakes just north of the city-centre. Definitely go on the first sunny day of spring. You'll be far from the only person enjoying the sun and the atmosphere.\r\n<h3>39. Go to Distortion Festival<\/h3>\r\nThe city\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cphdistortion.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> biggest street party <\/a> takes place every June and is packed with people, crowded around parks and music stages. Best of all, it's free.\n<!-- end of module 10 -->\n<h3>40. Run around the lakes<\/h3>\r\nOr walk. As a <a href=\"http:\/\/da.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/S%C3%B8erne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> popular destination <\/a> for many people, it's worth it to make the whole loop, which brings you along the edges of Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, N\u00f8rrebro, \u00d8sterbro and City Center, and reminds you to get out of the neighbourhoods you live and study in.\r\n<h3>41. Take a weekend trip to Stockholm or Berlin<\/h3>\r\nIt\u2019s easy to travel to these two European capitals on the cheap. Train tickets to Stockholm, if bought far enough in advance, can be as little as 300 DKK round trip. Roundtrip to Berlin is closer to 350 DKK. Both destinations are also frequented by budget airlines.\r\n<h3>42. Give yourself long-weekends<\/h3>\r\nWhen setting your university timetable, try to pick classes which will allow you to have Fridays and Mondays off, giving you the long-weekends you need to take trips to the above cities!\r\n<h3>43. Visit the Danish Parliament<\/h3>\r\nThe parliamentary building <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ft.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">is open for visitors <\/a> and the ambitious are welcome to come and listen to parliamentary discussions.\n<!-- end of module 11 -->\n<h3>44. Get on Tinder<\/h3>\r\nThe dating app has been a <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/article\/tinder-has-set-students-campus-dating-fire%20%20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a favourite among Copenhagen students <\/a> so checking out this social experiment, even just to browse, is worth the download.\r\n<h3>45. Attend Roskilde Music Festival<\/h3>\r\nA world-famous eight-day <a href=\"http:\/\/www.roskilde-festival.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> music festival <\/a> in the nearby city of Roskilde. While crowded, sticky tents pitched on beer-soaked fields and drunk people running around might not be everyone's cup of tea, it\u2019s an unforgettable and wonderful experience. At least consider a day pass to see artists such as the Rolling Stones or Pharrell Williams.\r\n<h3>46. Swim in the ocean<\/h3>\r\nOr even skinny dip if you dare. Yes, in the ocean that surrounds Copenhagen. Both Amager Strandpark and Bellevue Strand are worth the bike ride, but harbours throughout the city itself also provide quick and easy access to the water.\r\n<h3>47. Try a local brewery<\/h3>\r\nIt's easy to get sucked into the beers as pervasive as Carlsbergs and Tuborg, but also be sure to check out microbreweries in the city, like <a href=\"http:\/\/mikkeller.dk\/mikkeller-bar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Mikkeller <\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hancock.dk\/oel.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Hancock <\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noerrebrobryghus.dk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> N\u00f8rrebro Bryghus <\/a> that serve more than just a standard pilsner.\n<!-- end of module 12 -->\n<h3>48. Participate in graduation<\/h3>\r\nThis varies from department to department, so whether that means a party for defending your thesis or a reception with fellow graduates, enjoy the company and free refreshments.\r\n<h3>49. Spend the summer in Copenhagen<\/h3>\r\nWith school out, you\u2019ll have more time to embrace the city for what it is and if you\u2019re lucky, good weather will mean more time to spend outside during those white summer nights.\r\n<h3>50. Study abroad<\/h3>\r\nUnfortunately the city and university can't offer everything, and getting away will make you appreciate all the amazing things they can actually offer.\r\n\r\nFinishing off all 50 of these certainly makes for a fully-packed UCPH student experience. How many of these can you check off your list? Are there any crucial must-do's that we missed?

It has been updated 30 June 2019.<\/em>\r\n\r\nBicycles are everywhere in Copenhagen, but what's the best way to get your own? From police auctions to facebook groups, here's how to best weigh your bike options.\r\n\r\nHappy hunting!\r\n<h3>Bicycle shops<\/h3>\r\nLet's start with the most obvious - bicycle shops. [secretimage face=\"Bicycle shop assistant Jacob\" imageid=\"7886\"] works for Jupiter Ekstra, which sells both new and used bikes for around DKK 1300.\r\n<blockquote>It just took me three minutes to get a really good bike for 800 DKK\r\n<p class=\"quotee\">Joanna, sociology student<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nThey are checked and repaired before put for sale and therefore reliable for everyday commuting in the city.\r\n\r\n\u00bbWe sell about ten second-hand bikes a week, they are really popular among students,\u00ab he says.\r\n\r\nAlthough most of the bicycle shops in central part of Copenhagen don't deal with used bikes, you can find several who do in N\u00f8rrebro, Vesterbro or \u00d8sterbro neighbourhoods. Some shops don't mind the trouble and post their second-hand offers online.\r\n\r\nExamples of this are Second Hand Bikes\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/BuddhabikesCPH\/about\/?ref=page_internal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buddha Bikes<\/a>, which both operate in \u00d8sterbro.\r\n<h3>Join Facebook groups<\/h3>\r\nSociology student Joanna likes the Facebook group <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/esncph.give.buy.sell.rent\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESN-CPH: Give-buy-sell-rent<\/a>.\r\n\r\n\u00bbIt just took me three minutes to get a really good bike for 800 DKK,\u00ab she says. The Facebook group has users trading all kinds of imaginable items, from Burberry bags to student books.\r\n<h3>Police auction<\/h3>\r\nHave you ever thought about what happens to lost bikes in Copenhagen? The local police collects them and holds public auctions every month to find new and more responsible owners for them.\r\n\r\nYou can read our recent article '<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/bicycle-hunting-at-the-copenhagen-police-auction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bicycle hunting at the police auction'<\/a> and a bit about what kind of quality you should expect from the bicycles sold.\r\n\r\nFind a list of the bicycles on sale some days before the auction and all the relevant information about the bike auction <a href=\"http:\/\/www.topauktioner.dk\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.\r\n<h3>Den Bl\u00e5 Avis<\/h3>\r\n24-year old Copenhagen Business School student Marie from Germany is right now riding a used Raleigh bought via the Danish website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dba.dk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.dba.dk.<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u00bbIt is definitely the best place to look for a used bike. I'd recommend aiming for the ads with good quality pictures and longer description than just going for a bike's brand name,\u00ab she says.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\nDba.dk is the online version of a popular local classified newspaper called <em>Den Bl\u00e5 Avis<\/em> (The Blue Newspaper) which has now closed down.\r\n<h3>Ask a friend or a fellow student<\/h3>\r\nItalian exchange student Luca bought his fixed gear bike from his flat owners' brother.\r\n\r\n\u00bbWord of mouth is sometimes the most efficient. Ask your friends, fellow students, co-workers. Sometimes it is as if Copenhagen is a city revolving around bikes and somebody always knows someone who probably could come up with a good offer for you,\u00ab Luca suggests.\r\n<h3>What to keep in mind<\/h3>\r\nFreddie works as a part-time mechanic at a bicycle shop in Central Copenhagen, and likes repairing stuff, of course. He'll recommend you to think about the work that might come along with buying a used bike.\r\n\r\n\u00bbBefore buying a second-hand bike you should really think about the pros and cons. There are parts that are going to give up probably sooner than later. If you are not able to fix it yourself, a second hand bike could in short time become actually more expensive than buying a new one,\u00ab the mechanic says.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n","post_title":"How to get a used bike in Copenhagen","post_excerpt":"Getting around by bicycle shouldn't have to cost a fortune.
