Denmark : Reviews (Copenhagen)

One of my favorite parts of this program was the location. It was very easy to travel to many different places, considering I was decently close to many other countries. I also really enjoyed being near water because it made it feel a little bit more like home, and the seafood was amazing!!

I found it most rewarding to be traveling, meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds, and learning about Danish culture, lifestyle, politics, etc.

An element of the program that I found most rewarding was being able to take more challenging classes than I am used to, which really pushed me in a new way academically but also gave me the opportunity to learn new things.

What I learned that would be helpful to future students is that it's going to be scary and not an easy adjustment at first, but there are so many other exchange students in the same boat, even if they're not from your school. You will meet people and build relationships at a much faster rate, but they will be just as valuable and necessary. I also learned that it's best to say yes to everything: it's how you're going to meet more people, live more unique experiences, see more places, learn more about the culture, and more.

Something I learned during this program can relate to anyone who wants to study abroad in general. I learned that everyone is just as nervous as you are, and that it is okay to feel nervous. I learned throughout my time abroad that feeling comfortable and feeling settled in takes time. It also takes time to meet people and make friends, which is ok! Everyone is I the same boat.
