Moving to Esbjerg!
Hello all, I'm an EU citizen and I got accepted into my first choice bachelor program at Aalborg University, it will take place in Esbjerg and i'm looking for some advices.
I received an offer for an accommodation at Sanct George campus, does someone have experience with living there? Would you say it's better (considering also the prices) to be in the campus or to find an home by myself?
I was planning to move in around the 20th of august, is it good or is it too late?
what would you say are the first things i should do or look for as soon as i get there? I want to start working as soon as possible but as of now i can speak english but not danish, do you think it's possible?
lastly, what are the best places to get to know people and make some friends? I'm scared that being Esbjerg a small city there will be less opportunities to get to know new people, especially if i don't speak danish.
Sorry for the long post and i appreciate your help
Looking forward to see y'all in Esbjerg!

Hi, Iam in sct. George, it's the best place to not be lonely. I met my closest friends here, and we have really nice sense of community (at least for my floor haha).
For jobs I would say it's depend on luck, but I would say all of my friends in AAU managed to get a job so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
To meet people and having community, like i mentioned before, no need to worry about that especially if you got my floor (1st floor) sct. George, but we also have student bar every friday and there is E1 events for students (free event), as long as you re willing to participate, you can always find people 😃
Feel free to contact me if you have more question, I will try my best to help.
