I’m from Denmark and i can tell you a little about the opportunities in DK.

University of Southern Denmark has a really nice studying environment from what i hear. I don’t know much about it though, as i live in another part of the country, and don’t happen to know anyone enrolled there.

However i would recommend that if you are interrested in studying in Denmark that you’ll also consider some of the other Danish Universities.

Roskilde University for one is a place i would highly recommend. It’s a little different from what you are probably used to, as it depends greatly upon group work and projects, but that is exactly what makes it worth considering. It also has an extremely flexible structure allowing people select courses almost without any restrictions.
you can learn more about Roskilde University at http://www.ruc.dk/ruc_en/studying/

Also if you are buisiness oriented in your academic interrests i would recomend Copenhagen Business School. It offers most of its courses in english and have perhaps the strongest academic profile in Denmark.

In general education in Denmark is a bit more group and project oriented than most other places i think. eventhough it depends largely on what subjects and courses you choose. most places you wont live on campus, but rather in an appartment of your own (sometimes appointed by the university). However danish universities are known for a flourishing social scene, and you will undoubtedly get to know alot of people through classes (which are generally small). It is also my impression that proffessors have a closer relationship to students in Denmark than in many other countries.

I hope i was able to help.
