You are not paid to go the university in Denmark. You are awarded credits by the government, and it is up to you to do something sensible with those credits. Don't waste them on needless courses! Learn that which will yield you (and the Danish government) the greatest benefits throughout the rest of your life.

It reads a little like your are misunderstanding what is meant by “paid to go to university”. Danish citizens receive a grant called “SU” (Statens uddannelsesstøtte), which basically is a payment from the government for being enrolled in education. It is meant to be spend on food, rent, living, books etc

You are given money (5.435 dkk monthly after tax) for attending university in Denmark and pay no tuition. This is in stark contrast to most other countries.
