#4: Where to live
This next topic is a bit difficult to make any clear conclusion on. I’m probably very biased because I was born and raised in a small suburb (Sejs) to a small town (Silkeborg) in the middle of Jylland, where everyone kinda knew each other.
When selecting a place to settle down there are soooo many things to consider, and maybe you don’t even have a 100% free choice, but here are some of my thoughts:
- In big cities there are a lot of people to meet, but they are all busy.
- In small towns you really need to be outgoing yourself, but your local friend might be more available overall.
- Copenhagen and Aarhus has a lot of club activities to offer and almost free events every day.
- People tend to transport themselves more willingly towards downtown rather than out of town.
- If you are coming here for study a kollegie could be a good place to start
- If you are past study but arrive alone, try to look into shared housing. Kollektiv is more than just sharing a roof. You often have dinner together as well.
Since I’m a nature boy, I already knew when I moved to Aarhus in the first place, that I wouldn’t stay here for more than about 5 years, and I can really hear the nature calling for me.
If you are into collective living, eco-vilages or just something cheap close to nature, you should ask someone about Djursland and Sydfyn.
