I am Danish and even if we are famous for being somewhat reserved, I am pretty sure Danes will be more than happy to become friends with foreign students. The problem is really to meet and move on from there. Just remember that if you really want to become friends with Danes, it's not enough only to meet at the parties during weekend. Join a sport club, art club or other if you have those interests. You will be surprised how many friends you can get that way. Never ever rent a room or apartment without a legal contract. It's not only too expensive but you are left with pretty much no rights in case things go wrong.

Kudos for explaining possible solutions instead of complaining about the situations. I'm Danish but spent some years in England - the friends thing is very true, all the more so with Danes not being into "friendship-on-demand" - we generally have a tight group and the "new guy/girl" has to be a good fit for the group as much as ourselves - we don't like drama. Their need to make friends is their need, not necessarily the groups, we may be busy enough already. It changes once we know you're staying here though but we don't invest ourselves easily in fleeting visitors. *If* we ask if someone is ok and they say 'yes' (when they aren't), unless they're blind drunk or bleeding from the head - we'll take that as a 'Yes!' until we really know them well enough to -care- *know* they aren't ok - that's not a game we play with strangers or acquaintances lol I mean we might only have 6hrs of daylight today, we don't have time to chit-chat and play games. Honesty and trust are the highest valued traits/elements for most of us so friendship here isn't so much a casual thing but a longer relationship and that's before we get to Janteloven and the whole "be who you are, don't overstate or try to make yourself more interesting than you are" element that runs through Scandinavian culture in general. I'm ignorant here though, and interested, how different is it from 'home' and how much better do you feel about where you stand ('I got this') now compared to landing?

Thank you so much for this video! I moved to Denmark last fall, and honestly I’m so close to moving back to my own country. But your positivity and just overall encouragement was really refreshing😍🌺

Hey, thanks for this video. It was really helpful. The one thing I'm stressed about is: how much money do I need per month? There are so many different information in the interent and I think it's not transparent enough for a foreigner to find out. Plus, how long will it take to get SU for the first time? Can I apply for it before actually moving to Denmark?

Hey! Definitely go for it, you wont regret it!:) Yes! So when you come to Denmark, your school will provide you with all the documents needed for the scolarship. I just went to the administration, filled out the papers and they send out everything:) But before that, you have to make sure you have a job contract that states that you will work 45 hours per month( at least 45!) . CPR - you need to 1) get the residence permit. There is an adress for that. Once you get there, you get the permission and as soon as you get the permission of residence, you can apply for CPR! Then you will get the CPR card to mail.:)
