I wanted to study in Denmark because of its well-developed higher education system and high standard of living. After comparing my options, Denmark seemed like an excellent place to begin a new stage of my life.
The admission process was relatively easy, largely thanks to Kastu. The team supported me at every stage and provided the right information exactly when I needed it.
Their guidance helped me avoid unnecessary confusion and made the entire application process much more manageable.
My first months in Denmark were exciting, but they were also more expensive than I had expected.
Future students should understand that even when tuition is free, beginning a new life abroad requires a significant amount of money. Study materials, accommodation deposits, food, transport, and other initial expenses can quickly add up.
For this reason, I strongly recommend saving enough money before moving to Denmark. A financial reserve gives you time to settle in, complete the necessary registrations, and search for work without immediately feeling under pressure.
It is also important to research the administrative requirements that apply when you arrive. At the time of my move, several important registrations could only be completed close to or after the beginning of the study programme.
Without the necessary documents, it could be difficult to find legal employment, open a bank account, arrange taxes, or complete other practical tasks.
Because rules and procedures may change, future students should always confirm the current requirements before choosing their arrival date.
The most useful thing you can do is speak with people who already live and study in Denmark. They can explain what the official information may not tell you: how much money to bring, when to arrive, where to look for accommodation, and which documents should be arranged first.
Real experience from current students can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress.
Although the beginning requires preparation, I believe that all these challenges can be overcome. You need patience, realistic expectations, and a willingness to take responsibility for your own life.
Studying abroad is not only about attending lectures. It means learning how to manage your finances, organise important documents, search for work, and build a daily routine in a completely new country.
These responsibilities may initially feel overwhelming, but they are also what make you more independent.
My advice is to think carefully, prepare financially, and ask as many questions as necessary. Do not be afraid to contact students who already have experience in Denmark.
Most importantly, be ready to study, work, and use your time abroad meaningfully.
With good preparation and determination, the challenges of moving abroad can become the first steps towards an unforgettable and valuable experience.
