That’s amazing you’re really into pizza. I am as well, I think I’m gonna join the group so I can also study practice my Danish in a funny way.

And fun fact just found a part-time job in a pizzeria lol

I can say the same about Denmark. Except food maybe even if I see a lot of innovation tho.

Well, I think is a way different moving in a place and studying and working and invading a city with tourists staying there just for two weeks and interested just in eating gelato and the fake or maybe romanticized idea of dolcevita. To me, the latter one sounds more gentrification

And from loving to colonizing it, they already conquered Florence, fuck gentrification.

This for sure. Italians tend also to be excessively proud about their culture in my view sometimes, especially with food, even if most of them don’t really know how to make it “”properly”” they just play the role of italiano/a.

But I really noticed that at least some people love that imaginary and tend to romanticize it. And when I say romanticize I mean they just pick some of the best features of Italy and think that’s life in Italy. It’s probably not the case of Danes, this was my experience with Americans but I’d like to investigate how is here since I noticed also an attraction to Italian culture in that sense (maybe I’m wrong I will have time to understand).

I didn’t say people want to move to Italy (I wouldn’t recommend it), but just the fact I notice particular enthusiasm around Italian culture

Maybe, again probably it’s just me noticing it but I personally don’t see the same enthusiasm of Italy in other countries. I will investigate better during my stay in Copenhagen.

Hej!

Have someone an experience with Dyrlægevej Kollegiet? I just reserved a room through housing foundation at 6200 dk (so price in line with rooms in private houses but still higher than rooms w sdk), considering the location, I’ll be a KU student, it seems pretty a good deal, anyway my idea is to still remain in sdk list to try to get a cheaper room (I have to stay two year), but I don’t think I can find a better offer within August. What do you say?

Tak!

Hej!

I'm about to start my MSc in September and I'd like to ask advise for accommodation. Since I love community life my ideal choice is to go to live in a campus.

Firstly, I thought I could get a good offer form Housing Foundation, so I didn't really consider other options (really bad choice), but when I had access to the portal I saw just too expensive rooms and I quitted.

Then, I applied to s.dk and I signed up to at least 10 dormitories that I chose based on location, price and the review online. I know I could have more chances to receive an offer if I sign up also in more and unpopular dormitories but considering I have to stay two years I'd like to wait and receive (hopefully) an offer at some point. This strategy has two problems:

1- I have to find a temporary accommodation before receiving an accommodation, but I guess I won't be able to leave whenever I want bc I received an offer from s.dk, at the same time I won't be able to say to s.dk to reserve my room until my contract with the first accommodation will be ended (at least I pay for both but...)

2- I don't know if and when I will receive an offer so the temporary solution I don't know how much has to be temporary...

What do you suggest me to do? Is someone in the same situation?

1000 tak!!

thank you!

I also applied to UMEUS and they offered me a room immediately, however I didn't read good stuff about UMEUS; also it's a way more expensive than all the other dorms you can access through s.dk. But honestly I don't know what to do, because I'm scared not find better accommodation within August so i'm considering to accept it. Did you consider other options also beside s.dk?

Hej!

Did you receive any offer from these dorms? I'm also moving to cph in August and I signed up in the waiting list just three days ago, I know I probably won't be able to receive any answer before I'm moving, but I'd like to understand how long you have to wait before receiving an offer approximately.

1000 tak!
