The institutions are also called Professionshøjskoler, professional schools.

Student-life is definitely exciting anywhere and Denmark is not different, starting with life in the halls of residence to partying in clubs. You do not have you worry about getting your way around in the first days and finding supermarkets close to your hall of residence or any other things like that because most higher education institutions have established a "buddy-program". On arrival, a "buddy", who is a current student at the same institution, will help the students to get settled, meet other students and assist them with practical matters in their first weeks at the institution.

However it is expensive to go out in Denmark and the students we spoke to said they had adjusted to spending more time socialisng at home,  they also really enjoy the student houses, sepcial clubs for students.
