Furthermore, the mentor can give an introduction to academic and social life at the university, to the city, and be the first link to the Danish student body. Housing The University of Aarhus finds housing for all exchange students. Accommodation will be found in halls of residence or in private sub-lettings. In order for the International Secretariat to find housing, we need to receive your application form at least two months prior to arrival. In the material you will receive in your welcome package, you will be able to find more information about housing.
Many students are often surprised by the relatively high living expenses in Denmark.
A regular Danish student receives approximately DKK 3,000 in government grants per month. Some students manage to live on this, but it is a very tight budget and it does not leave any room for extra expenses. Most Danish students supplement their income by taking a summer job, a part-time job or a student bank loan, which will provide approximately DKK 1,800 extra per month. Exchange students who are only here for a short period of time should not expect to be able to get a part-time job in Aarhus. Therefore, before leaving home, it is important to make sure that expenses can be covered.
