Exploring the happiest country in the world: 1st yr Copenhagen

Hello! My name is Michaela, and I have roughly spent 2 weeks here in Copenhagen.

First impressions:
Coming from the suburbs in the UK, the actual city seemed quite similar to back home; mixed broadleaf trees lining the streets, paved roads, similar housing landscape, with numerous green spaces dotted around.
But man, it's so clean. And arriving just in time to see the Summer days meant I could experience the Park life that the Danish love; drinking a beer or two, huddled in a small group, soaking up the beautiful rays.
However, the weather is very changeable (something I am also all too familiar with); you see the clear skies through your window, so you dress in just a t-shirt and jeans, then once you step out of the house, the heavens decide to open and you are completely drenched in the rain.
Most of the Danish people I have met are extremely patient. Riding a bike in the city is a fairly new experience for me, and admittedly, I have messed up a few times. However, rather than shout rude remarks and calling me bad names, most of them just initially give a displeased look, but then smile as they probably know that I am not too familiar with the whole cycling culture.
People in shops and students around campus are more than happy to help, so don't be afraid to ask!
Copenhagen is a beautiful city, with so many activities and events happening. I can't wait to start exploring once I get the time!

Tips:
-Get a bike, with a good lock and lights: there are loads of second hand bikes around, and before you leave, you can just sell it! It is sooo much cheaper than taking the bus or train.
-Sort accommodation out wayyyyy before hand: Copenhagen has experienced a student housing shortage where some students are on a 5 month waiting list. And area is really good, but do research before hand on which campus you will be studying on, and what sort of neighbourhood you want to live in. I currently live in Norrebro, which is very multicultural, and very vibrant.
-Sort out your residence permit and CPR asap: your CPR-code is vital if you want to do pretty much anything in Copenhagen, like opening a bank for example.
-Recycle your plastic bottles and cans! Most supermarkets (e.g. Netto) has a place where you can give you your used bottles, and give you some money in return! It's a little, but a little does go a long long way.
-Flea markets: They are everywhere, especially at the start of the academic year. You can get all sorts of things: Furniture, clothes, shoes, kitchenware, you name it. Plus you are doing your little part for the environment :)

That is all I can really think of for the time being, but I shall be back to discuss the actual university and the course.
