I am Danish.  Sign up now. You got nothing to loose by doing it now but if you dont, you risk living too far away from the university. And that is tough for anyone starting at university. I know of students who started in September who have only gotten a dorm room now and in one case next month. All of them were/is living with their parents more than two hours away from their universities.

You have even less time than the other students as you also have extra administration because you are a foreigner. 

You need to get MitId which is an app that verifies your identity both when paying for stuff online, to sign up for things, and when communicating with your health professionals online. You'll also need to register your address in Folkeregistret (place that registers where everybody lives), a Danish bank account, to find a doctor and a dentist (you want to do that from the start), and to get something called something like "European residency certificate" to be able to prove your right to live here.

You'll need to show up in person at Borgerservice to register your address and apply for a cvr number ( personal identification number). This is to avoid fraud. 

Just to add to the fun you need a Danish phone number to get an appointment at Borgerservice BUT you cannot get a Danish phone number without being registered as living in Denmark. We solved it by using my dad's number when we returned to Denmark but I have no idea how foreigners bypass this. 

You cannot get MitId without the cvr number.
