It's official!

Hello all,

I found out today that I have officially been accepted to Aarhus! Should be a few more weeks until I find out where I'm living.

Did you know that health care in Denmark is free? Technically I'll be a Danish resident for the time I spend there, and because I'm an exchange student, I'm covered under the Danish Health Security Act. That means that all health care is free. All I have to do is pick the general practitioner that I want to see when I get my Danish CPR number (similar to a social security number), and then I'm good to go. The insurance also covers me if I go on holiday to other countries in Europe, although I may have to pay upfront, I'll be reimbursed. How cool is that?!

Next step: apply for Danish residence
