L<\/span>eave Copenhagen with no regrets. This is what it is all about.<\/p>\n

So 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!<\/p>\n

1. Buy a bike<\/h3>\n

The 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 Facebook group ‘Buy a Bike Copenhagen’.<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Attend the Stella Polaris Music Festival<\/h3>\n

At 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 free event<\/a>, but many also bring their own beverages.<\/p>\n

3. Stay out past sunrise<\/h3>\n

Take advantage of the long, Nordic summer sun and end the evening with a kebab (or falafel): a staple in student drinking culture.<\/p>\n

4. Visit the markets in Copenhagen<\/h3>\n

The food market at Israel Plads<\/em>, Torvehallerne <\/a>, can be visited throughout the year, and flea markets (called loppemarkeder<\/em> in Danish) are open during the summer months. Studenterhuset <\/a>regularly houses an indoor student market.
\n<\/p>\n

5. Attend the matriculation ceremony<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a great opportunity to begin the academic year by meeting other students and university staff over free drinks and food. See the University Post’s photo series from the 2018 matriculation <\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Attend your department\u2019s introduction trip or rustur<\/em><\/h3>\n

The 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 notorious <\/a> for non-stop drinking and occasional hazing.<\/p>\n

7. Live in a student dormitory or shared apartment for at least one semester<\/h3>\n

Having other students around provides you with a wider social network and the opportunity for unexpected friendships. See the University Post’s series Dorms Disclosed <\/a> to help you find which dorm might suit you best.
\n<\/p>\n

8. Participate in a sports team<\/h3>\n

The student sports association KSI<\/a> offers everything from climbing and kayaking, to yoga and burlesque or handball and water polo.<\/p>\n

9. Sign up for a class that has nothing to do with your study area<\/h3>\n

At a university that offers classes about topics ranging from beer brewing to terrorism, you can’t afford not to.<\/p>\n

10. Skip your 8 am class at least once and still manage to get a good grade<\/h3>\n

Sometimes more important things, like concerts, midnight movies, or unexpected nights out, require your attention instead.<\/p>\n

11. Take a foreign language course<\/h3>\n

If 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 \u00c5bent Universitet <\/a><\/em> and brush up on your Spanish or Arabic to make you a more competitive hire and a savvy traveler.<\/p>\n

12. Go dumpster diving<\/h3>\n

A 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 facebook group <\/a>. But don\u2019t forget about proper dumpster diving etiquette <\/a>.
\n<\/p>\n

13. Get a student job<\/h3>\n

Even 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, Uniavisen<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

14. Experience Culture Night<\/h3>\n

People can, 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.<\/p>\n

15. Watch a movie (or two) at Copenhagen Dox<\/h3>\n

The 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.<\/p>\n

16. Spend all day at a caf\u00e9<\/h3>\n

Studying, reading, catching up with a friend, anything.
\n<\/p>\n

17. Get out of Copenhagen<\/h3>\n

Exchange 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 Dyrehaven<\/em> (the deer park)<\/a> or Roskilde<\/em>. For the ambitious: Skagen, Bornholm<\/em>, or M\u00f8ns Klint<\/em>.<\/p>\n

18. Check out the view from the Church of our Saviour (Vor Frelsers Kirke)<\/h3>\n

This church in Christianshavn <\/a> offers an unbeatable view of the city on a sunny day.<\/p>\n

19. Watch a football game at Parken<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

20. Volunteer<\/h3>\n

Volunteering 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 Trampoline House <\/a>, Copenhagen’s Food Co-operative <\/a>, or at Studenterhuset <\/a><\/em>.
\n<\/p>\n

21. Take part in a student protest or cause<\/h3>\n

Students 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 students protested cuts to education<\/a>.<\/p>\n

22. Walk in the botanical gardens<\/h3>\n

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.<\/p>\n

23. Study in the Royal Library<\/h3>\n

Not only is the exercise to the the library <\/a> good for you, but the Royal Library (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<\/p>\n

24. Take advantage of half off drink nights<\/h3>\n

Buying a delicious whiskey sour or a cucumber ginger collins is that much easier when they are the same price as a beer.<\/p>\n

25. Attend a lecture at the university<\/h3>\n

Whether you want to listen to a former Prime Minister <\/a> speak or hear about the 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.<\/p>\n

26. Host or attend a Tour de Chambre Party<\/h3>\n

Despite the French name, Tour de Chambre parties are extremely popular among Danish students, so begin planning the theme and drink for your room now.<\/p>\n

27. Go to Christiania<\/h3>\n

An autonomous largely self-sustaining community constructed in an abandoned military barracks, Christiania is a huge cultural hub in the city. They have free concerts, science and cocktails<\/a>, a tasty vegetarian restaurant<\/a>, and a beautiful waterfront.
\n<\/p>\n

28. Attend Friday bar<\/h3>\n

Each campus hosts a Friday bar with different perks. Here is the great University of Copenhagen Friday Bar guide.<\/a><\/p>\n

29. Visit Tivoli<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s a given, as one of the most popular attractions in the city-centre <\/a>, but remember to go before it closes, as Tivoli<\/em> is only open summer, Christmas, and Halloween. The University Post recommends either the friday night concerts <\/a> or the Christmas themed Tivoli, full of gl\u00f8gg<\/em> and \u00e6bleskiver<\/em>.<\/p>\n

30. Experience a Danish julefrokost<\/em><\/h3>\n

For 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 pakkeleg<\/em>!<\/p>\n

31. Pull an all-nighter finishing a project or term paper<\/h3>\n

24-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<\/p>\n

32. Experience a Copenhagen New Year<\/h3>\n

With 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 Dronning Louise’s Bro<\/em> as it offers a 365-degree view of the city’s fireworks. Remember your protective goggles!<\/p>\n

33. Celebrate Fastelavn<\/h3>\n

This, 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.<\/p>\n

34. Take advantage of the Copenhagen music scene<\/h3>\n

While the city attracts world-renowned artists, it’s also a great opportunity to learn about popular Danish artists such as M\u00f8<\/a>, Rasmus Seebach<\/a> or Nephew<\/a>. Popular venues include Falconer Salen<\/em> <\/a> and Vega <\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

35. Take advantage of small Danish holidays, especially in the spring<\/h3>\n

Is it Saint Martin\u2019s Day (Mortensaften<\/em>)? Have some duck or goose. Great Prayer Day (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<\/p>\n

36. Get published in the University Post<\/h3>\n

Have 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.<\/p>\n

37. Visit the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art<\/h3>\n

It is well worth the 45-minute trip out to the museum<\/a>. Louisiana is secluded, surrounded by a garden, and overlooks the \u00d8resund<\/em> straights. Leave enough time to see the exhibitions as well as a picnic outdoors or a meal in their deluxe cafeteria.<\/p>\n

38. Have a drink on Dronning Louises Bro<\/h3>\n

It’s a 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.<\/p>\n

39. Go to Distortion Festival<\/h3>\n

The city\u2019s 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<\/p>\n

40. Run around the lakes<\/h3>\n

Or walk. As a 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.<\/p>\n

41. Take a weekend trip to Stockholm or Berlin<\/h3>\n

It\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.<\/p>\n

42. Give yourself long-weekends<\/h3>\n

When 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!<\/p>\n

43. Visit the Danish Parliament<\/h3>\n

The parliamentary building is open for visitors <\/a> and the ambitious are welcome to come and listen to parliamentary discussions.
\n<\/p>\n

44. Get on Tinder<\/h3>\n

The dating app has been a a favourite among Copenhagen students <\/a> so checking out this social experiment, even just to browse, is worth the download.<\/p>\n

45. Attend Roskilde Music Festival<\/h3>\n

A world-famous eight-day 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.<\/p>\n

46. Swim in the ocean<\/h3>\n

Or 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.<\/p>\n

47. Try a local brewery<\/h3>\n

It’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 Mikkeller <\/a>, Hancock <\/a> or N\u00f8rrebro Bryghus <\/a> that serve more than just a standard pilsner.
\n<\/p>\n

48. Participate in graduation<\/h3>\n

This 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.<\/p>\n

49. Spend the summer in Copenhagen<\/h3>\n

With 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.<\/p>\n

50. Study abroad<\/h3>\n

Unfortunately the city and university can’t offer everything, and getting away will make you appreciate all the amazing things they can actually offer.<\/p>\n

Finishing 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? Comment below, or email and let us know!<\/p>\n

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.

It has been updated 29 June 2019.<\/em>\r\n\r\nIt is time to make your Copenhagen space <em>feel<\/em> like home. Your room, flat or shared house is a cosy refuge from the social whirlwind and new experiences. Make it your own.\r\n\r\nHere is our top 5 list of places to scavenge, barter or buy cheap stuff in Copenhagen.\r\n<h3>1. Flea markets<\/h3>\r\nThe flea market, or <em>loppemarked<\/em>, is a central part of Copenhagen life. You can get everything from furniture to electronics, cutlery, paintings and rare vinyl. But patience and perseverance are required in order to find the best bargain.\r\n<blockquote>If you would rather spend your cash on drinks and travel, you can scavenge good free furniture at one of the city\u2019s recycling stations<\/blockquote>\r\nMost flea markets have a specialty (clothes, furniture, design), and many charge an entrance fee. Do some research before you embark on your loppenmarket quest, and find a place that suits your needs and wallet. A good place to start is <a href=\"http:\/\/markedskalenderen.dk\/marked\/kategori\/loppemarked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MarkedsKalenderen.<\/a>\r\n\r\nIf you want to add a charitable side to your bargain-hunting, very Saturday year-round there is a large <a href=\"http:\/\/svalerne.dk\/home\/fair%20trade%20%26%20genbrug\/loppemarked%20kbh\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">indoor flea market<\/a> owned by a charity called Svalerne (Emmaus in other countries). All of the proceeds go to help children in India and Bangladesh.\r\n\r\nThe warehouse is in the Northern part of the city on Nattergalevej 6 and is open from 10-15 every Saturday (it is closed in the month of July).\r\n\r\nDon't forget the <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/studenterhusets-popular-flea-market-in-copenhagen-expands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">monthly Studenterhuset flea markets.<\/a>\r\n<h2>2. Online bartering<\/h2>\r\nWhen Danes want cheap stuff, they go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dba.dk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Den Bl\u00e5 Avis (dba.dk.)<\/a>\r\n\r\nHere, you find anything from a new apartment to a cheap sofa, or even a stuffed fox. Remember to barter and get the price down!\r\n\r\nThe site is in Danish, so have a dictionary on hand.\r\n\r\nA Danish equivalent to the auction site Ebay is called<a href=\"http:\/\/www.qxl.dk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> QXL <\/a>. This site is also in Danish.\r\n<h2>3. When in Scandinavia, do flat-pack<\/h2>\r\nWhat could be more Scandinavian than mass-produced, colourful flat-pack ready-to-assemble furniture?\r\n\r\nIKEA is the place to go for the finishing touches of plaids, bedcovers, cushions and plants when you have found your funky retro furniture on the cheap elsewhere. Or, more likely, when you have found your second hand Ikea furniture.\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\nWhile you are there, don\u2019t miss out on the famous IKEA meatballs (Swedish 'K\u00f6ttbullar', pronounced 'Shit-boola'!) and snag a DKK 5 cinnamon bun, or <em>kanelsnegl <\/em>('cinnamon-snail!').\r\n\r\nThe nearest IKEA is in Gentofte (to the North of the city). You can get there by taking bus number 150S from N\u00f8rreport Station, towards <em>Kokkedal Station<\/em>. Get off at the stop called <em>Brog\u00e5rdsvej.<\/em>\r\n<h2>4. Stolen bikes, the legal way<\/h2>\r\nMake (other people\u2019s) crime pay. Snag a bargain at a police auction!\r\n\r\nThe Copenhagen police regularly hold auctions (via the company Topauktioner) to get rid of all the stolen and lost property that they receive and can\u2019t reunite with its original owner.\r\n\r\nKeep an eye on the calendar for the next auction, and familiarize yourself with the rules, at <a href=\"https:\/\/topauktioner.dk\/cykelauktion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Topauktioner website. <\/a>\r\n\r\nHere is our latest report and review of a <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/bicycle-hunting-at-the-copenhagen-police-auction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">police bike auction.<\/a>\r\n\r\nHere are our more general tips on how to <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/used-bikes-in-copenhagen-how-to-get-one\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">get a used bike in Copenhagen.<\/a>\r\n<h2>5. Free stuff<\/h2>\r\nIf you would rather spend your cash on drinks and travel, you can scavenge good free furniture at one of the city\u2019s recycling stations. On a good day you can find good quality furniture, lamps and even clothes. For those with mechanical skills, recycling stations are also a great place to find bicycle parts.\r\n<blockquote>Be prepared for some jostling around for furniture and electronic goods, but small items such as books are easily available<\/blockquote>\r\nMany stations have a separate section for unwanted but undamaged items, but be wary that lately professional flea market salesmen have started lurking around these places to grab the most valuable pieces. Be prepared for some jostling around for furniture and electronic goods, but small items such as books are easily available.\r\n\r\nOne of the best places to start is M\u00f8llegade Genbrugsstation in N\u00f8rrebro.\r\n\r\nSo that's it. Happy bargain hunting!\r\n\r\nDo you need a more general guide to living cheap?<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/how-to-live-on-a-student-budget-in-copenhagen\/\"> Here is how to live on a student budget in Copenhagen<\/a>\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n","post_title":"Finding cheap stuff in Copenhagen","post_excerpt":"Wherever you live - a new lamp, desk or picture can make it feel like home.

The rest of your time is spent on independent study \u2013 the art of churning through 40-page articles in your syllabus, or endless weekly assignments.\r\n\r\nIt may take many years before you really find out how you best do the studying. Some get up early and take up all the spots in the best reading rooms from 8-16. Others sleep in, and pore over the difficult words until late at night instead.\r\n\r\nNo matter what kind of person you are, the reading rooms can be a great help in structuring your time effectively and meeting other students. But UCPH is a maze of campuses and departments, and the range of places to study may seem completely overwhelming. The University Post therefore offers you a guide to all the reading rooms you can use to fight the pile of unread syllabus literature.\r\n\r\nGood luck!\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\nNorth Campus is the home of students from the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and has a very respectable selection of reading spots where you can sit with a thick book or discuss theorems with your fellow students. The aula at the H.C. \u00d8rsted Institute is, in particular, frequently used for homework and projects. But actual reading rooms are few and far between.\n<!-- end of module 2 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> KUB Nord, which rolls off the tongue better than its official name 'The Faculty Library of the Natural and Health Sciences' is a favourite among UCPH people from several faculties. In addition to having almost 500 student places, the library has a nice mix of reading rooms, conference rooms and quiet study spaces. The majority of students are in hardcore study mode when they hit KUB Nord so you can easily end up sitting between a mathematician cursing imaginary numbers and a medical student memorising types of wound treatments. Quiet spaces are to be found in the old reading room and in the two silent reading rooms that are associated with the book hall\u2019s ground floor. Group spaces are in the Info room (the room with murals) and on both floors in the book hall.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> If you get hungry, KUB Nord has a very honest cafeteria where you can get the dish of the day and other good things. Automatic coffee in the ground floor costs DKK 8, but look around and bring your own coffee cup. If you end up choosing the wrong machine and even have to get a paper cup, you may end up paying caf\u00e9 prices. In addition, KUB Nord has a small lunch kitchen for free use. Here you will find a kettle, a microwave and a fridge.\r\n\r\nHow to get there: KUB Nord is at the intersection between Tagensvej and N\u00f8rre All\u00e9. The address is N\u00f8rre Alle 49 and the building is almost impossible to overlook. In front is an extensive grassy area, which can, of course, be a major diversion on sunny days.\n<!-- end of module 3 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> At the Mathematical Library, there are books as far as the eye can see. In two storeys. The library is in the large central room in the Hans Christian \u00d8rsted Institute, and contains several long rows of black tables with grey reading lamps. The reading lamps are usually bent into all kinds of strange angles: perhaps because they are never really used, perhaps because the students do an awful lot to get the lamps to shine absolutely perfect. If you are not the reading lamp type, you can familiarise yourself with the fluorescent yellow lights, or withdraw to the aula with one of the many books.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> Just turn towards the ground floor and the lobby of the Hans Christian \u00d8rsted Institute. Here you will find the canteen. It will send you off with a cup of scalding hot coffee when you and your books turn up in the wee hours of the morning. Your caffeine-shaky hands and tired eyes can also find coffee in the canteen at the Biocenter or at the August Krogh Institute (we have heard on the grapevine that the Biocentre has the best canteen).\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> On the clever map graphics showing North Campus, you can see that the reading room is actually located in building 4. But it will all make sense once you enter the building. Up to the 1st floor and then into the largest room you can find.\r\n\r\n \n<!-- end of module 4 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> If you are going through some heavy syllabus, and your eyes glaze over at the thought of the next exam, it might be a good idea to got to Panum to do your readings. Here you are surrounded by future medical doctors. Last year, several of Panum's reading rooms got a significant upgrade. One of them, which is now light, and can seat approximately 100 students, is said to be so popular you may be forced to sit on the floor, if you don\u2019t arrive on time. And it is supposed to be extremely quiet. We heard that you go through a soundproofed lock on your way in.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> At Panum, there are four obvious coffee spots. Maersk Tower has a combined canteen and caf\u00e9 (Bldg. 38) which, like many other of the UCPH canteens, is run by Chartwells. Here, the going rate is usually DKK 5 for a small cup of regular (i.e. black, filter) coffee from the machine and DKK 10 for a large one. Apart from this, there is an outlier canteen at the dentists (Bldg. 18.2), and the Shabaz coffee bar, which, according to the large sprawling Panum map is between buildings 9 and 15, near the Panum Student Club. Shabaz has an excellent menu, but the prices feel more like a caf\u00e9 in the trendy Vesterbro district.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> It is actually almost impossible to miss Panum. And it is impressive if you can find your way around the huge complex.\n<!-- end of module 5 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> The reading room is not for the faint-hearted. You do your readings here flanked by body parts with needles in them and science\u2019y things in large display cases, so the medical students have something to, well, study. Last year, this reading room was moved down into the \u201cgrave\" or the basement, and somewhere in Panum's dark cellars, there is also another grisly reading room with lots of - things - in jars. But this is not for everyone. So leave it to the medical students and keep in the well-lit areas. And near a door, so you still have a chance to find your out of the complex.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The four coffee spots we have found for you above, also work here. The Student Club at Panum also serves cheap coffee and cake. Rumours have it that they serve free coffee during lunch hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> The reading room is located in building 14, down in the aforementioned grave. Panum has been gracious enough to draw up a map of the site to us, the lost souls. You can find it here.\n<!-- end of module 6 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> KUA1, at the Faculty of Humanities, just prefers not to be a part of the conversation when it comes to good reading rooms. You can understand this, as the original KUA building did not offer much to the bookworm. Both the IKK (Arts and Cultural Studies), NoRS (Nordic Studies and Linguistics) and (English, Germanic and Romance Studies) Engerom departments have, however, libraries for the humanities and several of them even have a nice view of Njalsgade street.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> It is actually coffee in, coffee out at the KUA1 complex. The canteen is nearby and then there is the Nordisk Kaffebar which is always good for cheap (and organic) coffee and snacks.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> The IKK and Engerom libraries can be found on the third floor of building 21 and 23, respectively. Biblo-NoRS is distributed throughout building 21 and 27. So you might have to take out the large map of KUA to find them.\n<!-- end of module 7 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> The high-ceiling new building from 2014 offers a wide variety of study spots in all shapes and formats. The departments ToRS, MEF and SAXO each have reading rooms in each of their knowledge centres, which (apparently) is a fancy word for library. Here you can, for example, be surrounded by Japanese literature while you study it. Especially the ToRs Library is highly praised by a number of students, who also give kudos to the librarian S\u00f8ren (#s\u00f8renforprez). However, users of the library also points to the pile up of books that master's thesis writers deposit in six-month intervals in the reading room.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> From the glass-clad reading rooms you can look directly down at the caf\u00e9 Wicked Rabbit in the centre of KUA2. The name alludes to the rabbit food aka vegetarian products on the menu. But it does also include coffee and smoothies.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> KUA2 is located in the middle of the South Campus-labyrinth and is located off Njalsgade street. From the building 13 information desk you can look up to the three libraries. They are behind the glass panes of the 1st and 2nd floor in buildings 10, 12 and 14.\n<!-- end of module 8 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> KUA3 is where the theology, law and information science students belong. In the middle of the building, you will find a large, bright atrium with surprisingly good acoustics. The main aula itself is buzzing with movement, you can sit and work in groups, and yet the sound levels rarely exceed what you find in an ordinary caf\u00e9. One end of the room is dominated by an outsized stairs. Here, the steps are large enough to be used as tables, but you can also jump behind the stairs to the silent reading room. Here it is not quite as bright, but it is verging on scarily quiet. If you still want to be able to do concentrated work, but have an easy buzz of happy people in the background, then look up to the 2nd and 3rd floors. Almost all the way around the atrium, you will find reading rooms and spaces, where you and your favourite statute book should be able to find a corner.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The need for coffee is something that KUA3 clearly understands. No matter where you are in the building, it is never far to a caffeine fix. Apart from the canteen, which should be more or less OK, but which is only open between 11 and 14, you will find the coffee bar Hava Java close to the entrance at the Islands Brygge metro station. They are open until 8 pm on weekdays - finally some opening hours that make sense. At the top of the building, tucked away in a corner, you will find the law students' hang out \u2013 the parakaffen. If you can find it, they usually also have cheap coffee. And if all else fails and you're sitting on a Sunday evening at 18:00 at KUA3 and have the craving, you can, as a last resort, turn towards the coffee machines at the entrance to the atrium.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> KUA3 is the UCPH building which is closest to the metro. When you turn up (out of breath) up the stairs at the Islands Brygge station simply turn away from \u00d8restad Boulevard and veer slightly to the right, and the glass and concrete-clad building towers up in front of you.\n<!-- end of module 9 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> One of South Campus' glass bricks is home to the Humanities library, which offers the most airy impression you can ever imagine for a reading room. There is plenty of light and views of the sky above the Islands Brygge district. This means the space for big ideas, while you are entranced by the cloud formations. There is actually so much space that you are not (really) bothered by your studymate\u2019s jaw gymnastics when their candy, carrots and other all-too-hard snacks need to be consumed. There are places on the 1st floor, where small talk is permitted, while there is the more traditional reading room silence on the 2nd floor. You can also book smaller rooms for group work, if you want the option of mouthing off to the studymate in your group whose discourse analysis is complete nonsense.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> KUA\u2019s large canteen is a minute-and-a-half walk away, so the selection of both drinks and solid fare is fine. If you don\u2019t get the coffee in the canteen, it can be had for DKK 8 in the machine.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Between KUA1 and KUA2 it is a square, glass behemoth. This is the faculty library. Go there. Open your book. Finished.\n<!-- end of module 10 -->\nThe CSS complex is a very twisty thing and it is (unfortunately) not a misprint when the map tells you that when you want to go to building 4, it is the one located between building 8 and building 26, and on the other side is building 18, which apparently is only called building 18 when you are in the basement, but if you go through building 18 and up to the first floor, you need to use a different entrance, which also includes building 15. And the Library of the Social Sciences on Gothersgade street is building 709-1 in accordance with the same system.\n<!-- end of module 11 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> The Faculty of Social Sciences Library has 292 study spots and extends over three floors, four silent reading rooms, six group rooms and several lounge areas. The library, perhaps due to its location close to N\u00f8rreport, attracts students from several campuses, and you should not turn up too far late in the morning if you want to make sure you get one of the good spots. Even though thick books are read here, and many curses are uttered over incomprehensible Bauman-quotes, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed. The building's many group rooms and offbeat ideas give a good flow for your reading. And you can borrow slippers if you get cold feet.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The only major negative for the Faculty of Social Sciences Library is that they do not have a coffee bar (however, an enterprising man has spotted it, and often has a coffee van out in front). If you have your own instant cup and have brought your own cup with you, the library offers kitchen and electric kettles, so even though it requires preparation, you can easily get your caffeine craving satisfied, while you fight your way through the latest addition to your own home library.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> The Faculty of Social Sciences library in Gothersgade is, depending on where you cross the road, 270-280 metres from N\u00f8rreport. It takes a minute on the bike, and somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes to walk, so it's no wonder that the building is an attractive place to study.\n<!-- end of module 12 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> You have to really sneak around the CSS reading room in building 4 if you want to stay friends with everyone. High heels, fancy shoes, or crunchy carrots quickly trigger glances of indignation from your fellow students. On the other hand, you have plenty of room to spread out in the three reading rooms, four group rooms, and one newspaper room that you can find here. Each seat is shielded off and has a reading lamp, so you can sit in deep concentration, and you do not even have to put the books back when the darkness falls over CSS, which used to be the old municipal hospital.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The social science students at CSS, have made sure there are lots of coffee options. Just outside building 4, you will find the student-run Caf\u00e9 Kommunen. The coffee is cheap here, but because different students are behind the brewing process, the quality swings dramatically. In addition, CSS has two canteens, the big one and the secret one, where a small cup costs DKK 5 and a large one costs DKK 10. If you're looking for an adventure, you can see if you can't find the caf\u00e9 in building 35, where the prices are the same, but where you don\u2019t have to line up in the lunch queue.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Building 4 is actually one of the easier places to find. If you go into CSS from \u00d8ster Farimagsgade street you end up in a courtyard. On the right side, at the back of the yard, you will find a staircase up to building 4. (Tip: The nice campus officers have put up signs outside all the buildings, so you are hopefully just a little less lost)\n<!-- end of module 13 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> You can quickly overlook the small reading room that is hidden in one of the cellars of the old municipal hospital. It doesn\u2019t make a big show of itself, and for good reason. The prison lives up to its name: The sunlight hardly reaches the heavy iron windows and the lack of oxygen in the room will require extra coffee breaks. On the other hand, there is always space and no distractions in the reading room. In this way, the Prison is good for syllabus reading between lessons, where the good study spots have been taken up already by the early rising (and possessive) students. You really want to get out of here, and this could also be a motivating factor.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The Caf\u00e9 Kommunen offers well-sized and cheap coffee cups for the prison time of your own choosing. But if this calls for more energy than candy bars and caffeine, the juice machines and salads in the canteen in building 5 with so-called street food from large parts of the world (including hot dogs on Fridays) in building 4. If you, for one reason or another, cannot get your daily caffeine fix in one of these places, you will have to go for a hunt among the students' Friday bars. If you can find them, that is.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> This is one of the more circumstantial ones. If you come marching into CSS from \u00d8ster Farimagsgade street, walk through the first gate (it is called 5A). Then you can, while standing beneath the entrance, at the gate, turn down into a basement door on your left hand. When you have done this, you'll be in a long concrete corridor, that often smells of damp. You pass some yellow lockers \u2013 and continue. At some point the reading room appears on your left hand. We wish you the best of luck.\n<!-- end of module 14 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> At Frederiksberg Campus, there are not many reading rooms to choose from. In fact the library might be the only one. In addition to KUB Frb., the students can, however, hide in a number of group rooms, or shielded tables\/benches in the aula on campus. But the library is cherished by the students. On the Facebook page the place and the staff are praised by several students, and with 300 reading spaces, there are plenty of places to sit down.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> Those with caffeine dependency on KUB Frederiksberg have, the way we reckon it, two choices. You either go to the left corner, at the library entrance (where there is also a sink), otherwise you towards the S-vej street. You will do that at around 17 anyway, but if you are not quite ready to flip open a can yet, you can turn in to the door next to the work of art, instead of going in through the A-vej gate.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> KUB Frederiksberg is on Dyrl\u00e6gevej 10, right up to the Landboh\u00f8jskolens Have (gardens) and the Frederiksberg Campus. If you have shopping or caf\u00e9 needs, you are sitting dangerously close to the centre of Frederikberg and the Frederiksberg Centret shopping mall.\n<!-- end of module 15 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> Reading Room North in the Royal Library reminds you of the time before the expensive glass buildings and Apple monitors. In the glow of the emerald green reading lamps, you can almost feel history. Like when Vladimir Lenin sat at space 9 in 1910. You might not be figuring out how to start the October Revolution, but the high ceilings give plenty of play to your thoughts. The diamond - which is built as an extension to the old library \u2013 offers just as much beauty in a more modern setting. Here you find both the reading room East, West and E\/F West, where the light from Copenhagen\u2019s canals streams in through large glass sections. There is\u00a0[secrettext face=\"silence in the reading rooms\" text=\"People actually shush at you so keep your carrots and high-heeled shoes at home.\"] but in the so-called information room there is space for group work. You should be aware of the presence of tourists, however, who want to capture the attractive study environment (and thereby you too) in their selfies.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The Diamond's Caf\u00e9 \u00d8ieblikket serves delicious cortados, but if it is at the end of the month, you can also snap up some coffee that is less oriented towards hipsters. Here you can enjoy your liver paste sandwich or get bounty bars and a coffee from a nice machine.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Take the futuristic escalator directly back to the study future. On the 1st floor, you will find Reading Room West and East, which are on the right and left side of the Diamond. The old reading room (East) is further back in the old building.\n<!-- end of module 16 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> The Round Tower glances at you knowingly, while you bury yourself in your books at the Studenterhuset. Perhaps you know the ground floor best as the backdrop to a number of your nights out, but the Studenterhuset also has space for you to immerse yourself in your studies. On the 1st floor, you will find an actual reading room, which consists of a number of four-man tables. An ideal place for group work. In the evening, you should probably reckon on having a festive soundtrack to your curriculum, but during the day the sound level is very reasonable on K\u00f8bmagergade 52.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> As a UCPH student, you always have a discount on coffee and other beverages at the Studenterhuset. A black pot of coffee costs DKK 40, but you can also get an excellent cappuccino for DKK 26 with your student card. And so you can end the day with a cheap beer on tap.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> Follow the tourist crowds from N\u00f8rreport to the Round Tower, but continue to the next building and turn into the Studenterhuset instead. The narrow spiral staircase leads up to the small reading room.\n<!-- end of module 17 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> The location could hardly be better for the large library in the inner city. Right next to the pedestrian streets it is the perfect meeting place for study group discussions, if you had a trip planned to the H&M sales further down the road. On the 3rd floor, there are two small reading rooms, where you only have to be quiet in one of them. But throughout the building there are countless reading and study spaces for the curious students. Get used to the smell of freshly baked croissants, and bring your ear buds with you. The main library operates with large, open spaces and is not free of background noise, despite its immersed visiting clientele.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> The associated coffee bar Democratic Coffee is in the competition for the city's best croissants and pastries. But the Netto supermarket is not many metres away, if you are more into the rye bread.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> You can just wave to the soldiers outside the Jewish Synagogue before you turn in through the revolving door to the main library. On the third floor you will find the reading room, but otherwise take the escalator a couple of times to find vacant study spaces. There is demand for them, so turn up early.\n<!-- end of module 18 -->\n<strong>This is what it is like:<\/strong> The national research library for visual arts, architecture, art history and museology is right up at the tourist paradise Nyhavn. The library has both a small reading room and a number of lounge areas which are open during the period 11:00-17:30. Here you have access to everything from art archives and books to architectural models and sketchbooks.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to satisfy your caffeine craving:<\/strong> You'd better fill up your energy stores before you step into the Nyhavn 2 address. Here, at least, there is no coffee, but on weekdays, the Charlottensborg restaurant Apollo offers an extremely insta-friendly lunch.\r\n\r\n<strong>How to get there:<\/strong> The library shares the building with the art gallery Kunsthal Charlottenborg, located on the other side of the tourist mecca Nyhavn.\r\n\r\nBut you don\u2019t have to move between tourist groups and crowds every time you want to find a study space. In most cases, you can easily find a secluded spot on your own campus. Then, you won\u2019t have to go far to go to the Friday bar.\n<!-- end of module 19 -->\n","post_title":"Guide to Copenhagen reading rooms","post_excerpt":"It can be hard to pull yourself together when your sofa is your bed, and there is a Magnum ice lolly in the freezer.
