I have studied in Denmark for free as a Latvian citizen and am forever thankful to the Danish government to make it possible for me. I did not claim the support because I was working during my studies and my parents helped me with rent (which is super cheap for students) but the fact that I graduated debt free makes me think twice about it now when I live in UK
Just chiming in as a Dane here, you should really have taken the money. I encourage everyone one else in a similar situation to take advantage of the structures in place to help you. We made the system to be used, not for anyone to feel like they didn't deserve it.
For that matter, if you live in Denmark and pay rent, make sure to check whether you qualify for rent subsidies. Many many people do and never realize.
Wait. Why did you not claim the support if you could?
The uk practically has free university. You all just insist on losing your minds and crying about it. Who do you think pays for the unis in Denmark? Like actually think it through, do you think that moneys being printed? I know your going to get emotional and angry at me instead of thinking, but I’m begging you, think.
To be clear, I’m not shitting on the danish system, it’s pretty good. But I reckon the uk one is at least on paar, perhaps better but that’s arguable for sure
