Erasmus, Kolding, IBA, by N ;)

Why did you choose to go to Kolding, Denmark?

Because, I wanted choose a country where the mother tongue is English or where almost all people speak English. The other reason is the IBA (International Business Academy). It's a very good school. An international school so I can meet various nationalities. It's very interesting I think :)

I recommend this school and Kolding if you like peaceful, quiet and small cities.

I don't recommend them if you like the busy and loud night life.

What is the food like?

I can't cook so I always bought frozen food :D

Did it cost you to find your accommodation in Kolding?

There are a lot of people in IBA who will help you find accomodation in Kolding. The deposit was 3. 000 DKK. My rent is 2. 250 DKK / month. I share the apartment with a girl whose rent is the same and of course she had to pay a deposit too. The apartment has one bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchen.

How much does it cost to live in Kolding?
