About VIA Student Cheatsheet

Our Mission

VIA Student Cheatsheet was born from the experiences of international students at VIA University College who faced countless challenges navigating Danish bureaucracy, finding accommodation, understanding banking systems, and adapting to life in Denmark.

We recognized that much of the essential information students need is scattered across various websites, often in Danish, or exists only as "gatekept knowledge" shared informally among students. Our mission is to break down these barriers and make crucial information accessible to everyone.

Important: This website focuses primarily on information relevant to EU/EEA/Swiss/Nordic citizens studying at VIA University College.
