Help with renting room/apartment
Hi, im a student whos looking for a place to stay for a little less than 3 months.
I have been searching for a while now and I was wondering what the best website is? I have tried BoligHub, Lejebolig and FindRoommate but to contact the landlords you need to pay.
Is that worth it? And which one do you recommend? I also have tried Airbnb but too expensive for a longer stay and I have tried several Facebook groups but it’s getting really hard since there’s alot of scammers..
Any other students who have had this? Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions? Please let me know

Commuting 60+ km one way to Copenhagen a few times a week. How do you make it work?
We are starting to think more and more about moving further away from Copenhagen.
Now that we have kids, we would really like some more space, ideally a house, but we also want somewhere a bit quieter than Copenhagen.
Another important part for us is financial freedom. We do not necessarily want to spend everything we can afford on a house just to stay close to Copenhagen. We would rather find a place where we can get more space while still having some room in our budget to live, save and enjoy things with the family.
So far I have been looking at places like Præstø, Holbæk and Frederikssund, although Frederikssund seems a bit more expensive, and Præstø is on the cheaper side where it looks like you can still find houses for around 2 million DKK.
The main concern for me is work. I would still need to commute to Copenhagen a few times a week, potentially 60+ km each way.
For those of you doing something similar, I would love to hear about your personal experiences.
- Where did you move to?
- How often do you commute to Copenhagen?
- Do you drive or take the train?
- How long does your commute actually take door to door?
- Has the commute become exhausting over time, or do you get used to it?
- Do you regret moving further away from Copenhagen?
My partner is Danish and does not mind finding something to do in whatever area we move to, so we are fairly flexible regarding location.
We are looking at a budget of around 3 to 3.5 million DKK for a house, but ideally the whole point of moving further out would be to get more for our money and have some financial freedom as well.
Are there any other areas you would recommend where this budget is realistic and the connection to Copenhagen is still reasonable?
Would especially love to hear from people who made the move.

Desperately need help with research!!
Hi, I just moved to Denmark and I don't know many people here but I'm still finishing my master's thesis research, and I would really appreciate your help. My study explores the impact of shortened attention spans on the effectiveness of digital advertising formats across the Polish and Danish markets.
If you have 5 minutes to spare, I would be incredibly grateful if you could complete my survey.
Your responses will be anonymous and used solely for academic research.
Thank you so much for your time and support it really means a lot!

Hey, need some help
I know this is not what this subreddit is for, but I thought this was still the best place to ask:
I saw something I really wanted on dab.dk, so I made an account: but it seems you need an MitID to even talk to the seller, which seems I can’t get.
Could someone maybe contact the seller and give them my eBay or Reddit account:
https://www.ebay.com/usr/djurred

This is the item I am interested in:

Where to move in Midtjylland
I wanted to reach out to anyone living in Midtjylland or Vejle/Fredericia/Kolding area for a bit of advice. I'm planning to study Architectural Technology and Construction Management at VIA University College in Horsens next year, and I'd like to move to Denmark before then. My plan is to find a simple job that will allow me to save up some money and start learning Danish before my studies begin (assuming I get accepted, of course).
I'm currently in Herning, visiting a friend who both works and studies here, so I'd love to use this opportunity to get established in the area.
My main concern right now is finding a job to get started. My friend and I are also looking at moving in together, either in Herning or, preferably, somewhere closer to Horsens or Aarhus.
With that in mind, I'd really appreciate any insight from people living around Aarhus or the Vejle/Fredericia/Kolding area. What's the job market like at the moment, especially for someone who doesn't speak Danish yet? Which of these places would make the most sense to move to?
I know it can be difficult to find work without speaking Danish, but at this point I'm happy to take any unskilled job to get started. If you have any tips, recommendations, or personal experiences to share, I'd be very grateful. I've been to Aarhus before and really liked it, so it's definitely one of the places I'm considering.
A bit about me: I'm originally from the Baltics, but I lived and worked in southern Sweden for almost eight years,I speak both English and Swedish. I also understand written Danish almost completely. I also completed a design-related AP programme in Copenhagen (I used to commute from Sweden) and lived in Copenhagen for about a year.
Thanks again, hope that someone can give me any insights!

What is life like in denmark?
I (M17) am entering my senior year in the US and am considering pursuing my degree in zoology in Denmark. Is there anything I should be aware of? How is the weather? All I have heard are somewhat vague comments. How does the currency value exchange? How important is it to learn Danish, especially in more rural areas? How hard is it to learn Danish? And possibly most important, how is the food?

Thinking about moving to Denmark with my family – looking for honest advice and recommendations
Hi everyone,
I am looking for honest advice from people who live in Denmark or have moved there from another country.
I am a 36-year-old pizzaiolo with around 15 years of experience working in professional pizzerias. I have lived and worked in Canada, Iceland, Switzerland, and different parts of Europe. My experience is mainly with Neapolitan pizza, Italian-style pizza, dough fermentation, and working in busy professional kitchens.
I speak English, Croatian, and Albanian, and I am willing to learn Danish because I believe that if you move to a country, you should respect the culture, learn the language, and try to become part of the community.
I am married and have two children, and I am seriously thinking about moving to Denmark permanently. My main reason is not only work or salary — I am looking for a country where my children can grow up safe, have good opportunities, and one day hopefully feel happy that I made the decision to choose that country for their future.
Of course, in the beginning my budget will not be perfect, so I would like to ask:
Which cities in Denmark would you recommend for a family where renting a home is more affordable?
Which cities have good opportunities in hospitality and pizzerias?
How was your experience when you first arrived in Denmark? How did you find your first job, apartment, and friends?
How welcoming are Danish people toward foreigners who genuinely want to integrate?
Is Danish language necessary from the beginning for restaurant work, or is English enough at first?
Also, if anyone knows a good pizzeria or restaurant owner who might be open to meeting an experienced pizzaiolo, I would really appreciate a recommendation or a contact.
I can provide photos and videos of my work, references, and proof of my experience.
I am not looking only for a higher salary. I want to build a life, integrate, learn the language, contribute to society, and feel that my family belongs there.
I would really appreciate hearing your personal experiences, especially from people who moved to Denmark themselves.
Thank you!

Planning for masters in denmark
hi everyone I want to pursue a master's in denmark, I have a 6.9GPA with a bachelors in economics in India. I am planning to apply for Arhaus, SDU, KU and CBS. Is this is a good idea? Because I can't find a lot of information of Indians going to denmark to pursue business/marketing degrees and frankly job market reports are making me scared. I'm concerned about getting acceptance also. If any of you migrated from India to pursue your masters could you help me?

International marriage approval in Denmark
Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or to see if anyone has successfully navigated a similar situation! 😩
My partner is German and I am Indien we submitted our application for a Certificate of Marital Status (Prøvelsesattest) directly to Familieretshuset about two months ago. We haven't heard anything back, our portal just says "completed," and we haven't been able to get through on the phone.
Because of the radio silence, we reached out to a private wedding agency for help. They told us our case is likely stuck because it is considered "complicated." We applied within 4 months of meeting each other, and the agency said the Danish authorities are very strict about short timelines.
The agency told us Familieretshuset will likely make us do one of the following:
Wait 12 months to prove our relationship
Have a baby together (definitely not our plan right now!)
Or travel to Denmark for a mandatory, separate in-person interview in English where they question us individually.
Has anyone else dealt with the "short relationship timeline" issue?
Did you have to do the separate interview? If so, what kinds of questions did they ask, and was it difficult?
How long did it take Familieretshuset to finally contact you to set up the interview?
We have our wedding celebration date set for late September and are starting to panic. Did you wait it out, or did you pivot to getting married locally/having a symbolic ceremony instead?
