Practical Information
Travel
Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is the hub of Scandinavia. Norwegian, EasyJet, RyanAir, Air Berlin and many others all fly to Copenhagen.
From the airport, the metro will bring you to the city centre in about 15 minutes.
Please note that in Copenhagen, you can either pay for each travel separately, or purchase a Rejsekort (Travelcard).
While in Copenhagen you can also do what the Danes do, grab a bicycle:

Stay
Copenhagen hosts a number of hostels:
There is the Copenhagen Downtown Hostel, which is located right next to the medieval part of the city and the famous pedestrian streets with plenty of cafees.
There is a Danhostel at Amager, right next to a large green park, which would be perfect for those who prefer a quiet stay in Copenhagen.
Another Danhostel, which is located in walking distance from the University.
There is the wellknown Generator Hostel, which is furthest away from the University, but close to Amalienborg, the royal palace, and Nyhavn with lots of cafees and restaurants.
What to eat
The Danes are famous for restaurant Noma, that currently has relocated to Australia, but otherwise have a waiting list of about 1.5 years and of course two Micheling stars (and decidedly un-studentfriendly prices).
But otherwise the open sandwiches on rye bread is something worth trying. One of the best places is Kanalcafeen, which is juat around the corner from the National Museum and Glyptoteket.
There are a host of cafes in Copenhagen with more student-friendly prices, though expect a burger to cost around 125 kr. at the cheaper places.
For a low cost vegetarian buffet, try Riz Raz (99 for evening buffet).
Or combine a night out with cool food at the old meatpacking district.

What to see
The one place to see, if you are interested in Egyptian art is The New Carlsberg Glyptotek with its palm trees and eminent collection of Egyptological art.
The National Museum, with free of charge entrence and a good, although not overly well presented exhibition on ancient Egypt.
The world famous Tivoli, the old pleasure garden in the city center. Expensive but fun. On Friday Nights the entrance to Tivoli includes a rock concert with either an established Danish band or an international artist, which included Snoop Dog in 2015.
If you like modern art, Louisiana is a must.
In general, the Danish tourist organisation, Visit Copenhagen, has some very good and updated information about everything one need to know as a tourist in Copenhagen.
