5. Leafy tranquillity in town

Simple ideas often solve complex problems. Finding an adequate studying spot can be the case. Try studying on one of the benches along the lakes. The best ones are found by the most northerly situated Sortedam lake. These benches have with huge horse-chestnut leaf canopies, which cast a shadow on the benches and keep the sun out of your eyes.

4. Frederiksberg with frisbee

If you study in weekdays, rather than at night or during the weekend, you should try one of the numerous picnic-tables in Frederikshave.

These picturesquely located benches are perfect study spots during the week, when they are not overrun with picnickers. There is plenty of space for the laptops of all members of your project-team or even the most ambitious pile of books.

And if you need a break, you can always get your circulation going with a quick jog, or a game of Frisbee with your study buddies.

3. Refill and recharge

BANG & JENSEN on Istedgade, seems to be a good studying-solution, particularly for those who feel lonely when sitting with only a book for company. Fears of alienation disappear, as soon as you enter B&J – a place crowded with other studying individuals.

Here, you will find everything you need for a successful study session: company, comfortable chairs, a refilling coffee cup and, hopefully, good ideas.

And, the lively atmosphere will certainly make sure you don’t drop off to sleep while reading.

2. Books meet coffee

If you can not decide between a library and a cafe, go to Paludan on Fiolstræde. It was created especially for coffee-loving bookworms.

If you feel torn between great coffee and books, the hybrid character of this place will guarantee your well-being while studying.

Tables in the first room by entrance are normally occupied by individuals with laptops, whereas the rooms further in attract mostly groups discussing common projects.

1. Just like Lenin

For those who like the study atmosphere in libraries, but want to get away from the university itself, the Reading Room West in the Black Diamond Library, which, owing to its over century-long history has something that can be called ‘a soul’.

Visualising intellectual struggles of numerous others throughout the years, should sharpen your desire to study.

Political scientists, for example, should check out place no. 9: library archives note that Lenin once sat here to read.
