Jorge Barrera thank you mate 😍 it’s really nice of you to leave a comment whenever we do something, really keeps me motivated to find time for this 🤙🏻😜

Your channel has amazing content for people who are planning to move to Denmark. Thanks!

[@ikrament3847]

I would love to see a video dedicated on getting a job as a new student and what kind of jobs you are eligible for. By the way, the video was definetely so so helpful. Thank you for sharing all the info and also for sharing Too Good To Go, it is a fantastic way to buy groceries on a budget.

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Ikram ENT there is already a video like that :) it’s called ‘Getting a job before moving to Denmark’ (or something like that). It’s also linked in the description

[@cardosoexotics]

Hi there! Thanks a lot for the content, it helps us ton! Keep it up

[@moneybee]

Really great breakdown of the things to budget for! Thanks for sharing, it really helped me contextualize what its like to live there. As someone who's motivated by financial independence and travel, this was a great video! Keep it up, just subscribed!

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Thanks a lot! Hope I'll be able to help more in the future :)

Watching that video, preparing for my move to Copenhagen where I got a new Job at Tiger :-) made me smile

[@doudridoudri7047]

Such a great video, thank you! Can you make a video talking a little more about getting a job?

[@zsofiatamasy9645]

It's very helpful, thank you for the videos! I'm moving to Denmark next month, and I already know how to save money! Good job, keep going with the excellent content :)

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Glad it was helpful! Any other content you'd be interested in? :)

[@zsofiatamasy9645]

@@StudentSurvivalGuide Well, I'd read about what happens after getting a job so about work life. I know for example it's common to work around 36-37 hours in a week, or at 2 PM on Friday is almost all about drinking beer with the boss at least chilling :D So some insights. Or Danish culture, culture shocks...Just some ideas :)

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

@@zsofiatamasy9645 Yes that is correct, I have personally never experienced this as I work as a freelancer but many friends tell me about the 2pm beer and I'm very jealous haha. I will definitely look into this type of content at some point :) - Mike

@@StudentSurvivalGuide That's great, I'm looking forward to that video then :)

Good luck in Copenhagen finding a room for under 4000kr as international student. You could get lucky and get a room in a kollegium, but then sacrifice location often (for example DIK in Albertslund). Housing in super competitive, especially in August/September when the students arrive. I would say 4500 to 5000 is average for a room in a apartment in Copenhagen, even up 5500kr. In terms of actual budget in Copenhagen, I would say 1200 euro or 9000 kroner is more accurate in terms of budget if you want to live ok and enjoy life while still budgeting.

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Yeah I agree, it's super tough there... I never lived in CPH myself so I can only give my best opinions :D but it is really tough

[@macalana1000]

Can you do a video about Folk Colleges in Denmark, what are their main idea, pros and cons, differences between a normal university, and more. Thanks!! Great content, greetings from Costa Rica, pura vida!

[@ubwani745]

Thank You for all the Videos.

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Glad you like them!

[@surojitsengupta5162]

Can you mention about Rent subsidy for students and professionals?

[@jhamdan2012]

So how much do you really spend in Aarhus monthly? Also, are tuition fees are covered for PhD students from non EU countries? I see that you have a guitar. Can you play some for us on this channel?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

If you can secure a scholarship then it should be paid but this is best answered by the university. Expect to spend between 12.000-15.000 a month living in Aarhus. I'd love to play but this channel might not be the best medium for that! :)

[@cacelas97]

Great content! You're asking the questions that need to be asked. Thanks for that. So, for your calculations in general If I hypothetically manage to find some part time job and also be eligible to receive the SU, it could cover the greater part of my main expenses (accommodation, groceries, transport) 800~1000€. And I would be able to save my salary? If I am as spared as you, in this case.

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Hey, thank you for the comment! Yes, I'd say so :) Not all of your salary but majority for sure

Thanks bro

[@henryeyes22]

this channel is very fucking helpful for me right now

[@markosamodol7492]

Thank you man!

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

You're welcome 😎

[@nitinkadariya2268]

about the accommodation is it monthly or yearly

[@andrea_fasulo]

In your opinion, how much is it difficult to regularly do a part-time job and getting the SU while studying a Master's program on Engineering in Copenhagen? I know it's a difficult question because there are a lot of variables, although, I think 10-11 hours a week are not a joke while attending a full course, especially if you want to stay in time...

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Andrea Fasulo hey 👋🏻. Great questions. I think it’s very reasonable and there has been hudreds of us that has done it before 😜 will it be fun? No 😂 but at least you get 800€ for trying...

[@andrea_fasulo]

@@StudentSurvivalGuide Thank you! Your videos help a lot

[@konditorugrupa5963]

@@StudentSurvivalGuide Heard you saying 800 euros and actually i got surprised. Isn't that rate aproximately 6110 DKK before tax, something like that? Because 800 sound much better xD

[@artgatherer3477]

Is it hard to find work without knowing Danish? And how hard is Danish?

[@rishabhsharma9698]

hey it would be wonderful if you make videos about how to apply to universities as an international and also videos about specific university like i am applying to sdu soderberg next year i and many others students really want to know how to apply there and when and quote 1 or 2 that's i really want to watch it will help a lot

Hey, I'm an EU students so unfortunately I have zero experience with anything like this :/

Hi! Thanks for your content. I truly appreciate it and it's really helpful for me and a lot of people who are looking forward to study in Denmark. Can you please help me with finding the best university in Denmark for bachelors computer science. After my research, I could only find 2 universities offering computer science as a subject so is that true?

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Hey, I'd like to help but this is out of the scope of my capabilities :/ I'd only be google searching myself... but thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it :)

How much is it going to cost (in $) in total for an year approx if you aren't working ? My brain is slow and lazy so I will appreciate if someone can do the math for me. Please 😁

How much student can earn from part time job

[@StudentSurvivalGuide]

Realistically, student salary is around 130DKK and you can work around 50 hours a month without problems, so you can do the math :)

[@paramvir2668]

@@StudentSurvivalGuidehave a one question on the Danish student web site they wrote international student can work 20 hours a week, as multiple 20×4 it's become 80 hours in month. So why you told me i can work 50 hour's without any problem.

@@paramvir2668 Not sure if I understand what you're saying

[@paramvir2668]

@@StudentSurvivalGuide ohh it's legal or not if work between 50 hours to 80 hours in a month. I only asking this because you tell me i can work 50 hours in a month without problem. I just want to what type of problems i will face.
