It's been a couple decades for me, but I can't recommend this experience enough. The professors…read morewere top notch and attentive and the people and places of Denmark are remarkable.

If you are a college student in the United States, looking to broaden your horizons, I can't think…read moreof a better way to do it then a semester or even a year of study abroad at this institution. I had the good fortune to meet some of the key people during a presentation and panel discussion on curriculum development at the institute, from a social construction standpoint and just top notch educators. In addition, they provide a bountiful number of fascinating trips and experiences to familiarize one with the local culture. I was also impressed with the co-housing options where students could live together versus with a host family and the opportunity for individuals to develop those adult life-skills that are part and parcel of post-college life. As Virginia mentions, in an earlier post, the institute is located in the heart of Copenhagen, which is one of the most walkable and bike friendly places on the planet. You'll have a great time, just go! :-)

The DTU Ballerup campus is a bit far from the city. The building is divided into wings that are…read moredivided by letters. In the beginning it was a bit hard to find where everything was but it gets easier by time. There are many maps everywhere to guide your way. The first number of the room is the floor where the room is. 1 is for ground floor 2 is for the first floor and 0 is for the basement. Comparing this to the DTU Lyngby is a bit unfair as it is bigger and with lots more people. However the library is quite nice here and the canteen, although it's small, it's quite alright. You can buy a clipcard for coffee: 8 dkk per coffee, tea or hot chocolate. The food is typical canteen food with buffet which you pay by weight. They take all types of credit cards. There is plenty of space to park a car if you drive a car. The 350s bus brings exactly outside the canteen which is very convenient. Inside there is plenty of space to sit in the common areas and the rooms are well equipped.

So many great memories here. Very modern building but not so great at scheduling classes. Some…read moreclasses would overlap by 15 min and would totally throw off my schedule but hopefully they've fixed that problem by now.
