Ouch bllets, you're scaring me now, when im going to study. :< I just hope i get a little more than 1300Dkk to live for when im going. (roughly 130£)
Well how much you get in SU depends on your age, where you live and how much you (or your parents) earn a year.
Living home, maximum is ~2600
Living out u.20, maximum is ~2600 (Unless on "videregående uddannelser")
Living out over 20, maximum is ~5200.
And then there is the option of around 2600 in SU loan (Paid back when you're done in the education system).
And not to mention different bonuses if you're a dad/mom, handicapped and so on..

Well, I've been to Denmark only once, but I'm from the U.S., so i'll give my thoughts.
When i was there, the conversion of Kroner(spelling?) to U.S. dollars was 5:1. I was in Copenhagen,
and the cost for a glass of Coke was 35 Kroner. 7 dollars for Coke!
But also, in Denmark, you have Legoland (win) and Tivoli Gardens. Tivoli was expensive, but man, it was fun.
Also two words... Roskilde Festival.
Every country has their ups and downs, you just have to appreciate what ya got.
I bet 50$ on you were drinking that on a restaurant! Restaurant pricings are sick. O_o 45 Dkk for a smirnoff, BULLSH!T!
45 DKK for a smirnoff in a restaurant isn't to bad imo. I paid 36 DKK for a somersby on a tank station, and restaurant is WAY more expensive then tank stations...
And i was at a restaurant some time ago, my 0,7L coke were at 62 DKK.

Danish men are pretty good looking.
Why thank you!
Anyway, I love being danish, primarily because of the impression exchange students get by visiting us (I live in a dormitory). It's simply hilarious, and I'm impressed with those that can keep up with our drinking habits. :)

I spent a week in Copenhagen with some friends a few years ago. I found the people lovely, just incredibly friendly, and the city was beautiful and, for the most part, very clean. The public toilets there rock!
The food was amazingly delicious. We didn't go out to eat in proper restaurants, just had a drink in one so that I could be shocked at the prices and understand why that wasn't something my friends would do on a regular basis. We got takeaway from a local kebab shop one night and it was the best kebab I've ever eaten in my life - no lie. It was quite large and very inexpensive compared to what I'd get for my money in England. Kebabs in the UK are such a let down after that! Surprisingly, I also found the best Mexican food I've eaten since I left the US to live in the UK. But nothing could touch the homecooked meals I was served. I pretty much ate my way through that week.
The Danish crown jewels weren't something I thought I would care about, until I saw them. I could have spent hours looking at them. So much intricate detail, absolutely stunning workmanship. Impressive, to say the least.
Thought the tax system was a bit weird, as my friends explained that properties with a view of water get taxed at a higher rate. I also thought it was odd that they had to book a time to do laundry in their building and there is no getting around that. Made me wonder what people with small children do, when the child is sick on something and it needs to be washed but you can't wash it because you have washing day next week or something. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Let's say you live in a apartment with the address Googleroad 5 1st floor, the apartment is around 30 square meters big. With so little room there is no place for things like a washing machine.
Now in these places you have a lot of these sort of apartments (or rooms), where there are no room for a washing machine. So the company that owns the buildings and therefor the apartments, give the people an offer with a share washing machine, dryer and what not.
Now since you have A LOT of apartments and people who has to share 1-X washing machine and 1-X dryer, you need some sort of planning system.
At my place we book 2 hours at a time and pay 8 DKK for one use of a washing machine.
I think situations where there are kids involved that people try to get apartments with room for washing machine. The situation i just described fits perfectly for a place with a lot of students and students in Denmark usually don't have that much cash.
But students who are a father/mother gains more in SU then people without, so they might be able to afford that bigger apartment.
My thoughts... ;)
And i reckon i've seen it at regular shops for 15-20 Dkk per can...
15 DKK is the normal price in a store like Netto or Rema 1000. But notice i said a tank station... :)
