Studying at DTU
Studying abroad in Copenhagen has been a blast so far! And although the unit operations lab course I am taking here is fairly difficult and very fast paced, I have still been able to explore Copenhagen. The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) is actually located in a suburb north of Copenhagen called Lyngby. During my time here, I have gotten to know the town and the campus well. While some aspects are the same, a lot of DTU is very...
While Abroad in England
When I first arrived to Oxford, exhausted from traveling and full of anticipation, the city was alot different than I had imagined! I was expecting it to be a lot smaller and less populated. It was a crowded city with lots of shops and history which I love about it. We arrived to our college, Worcester College, and I was shocked. It was even prettier than the pictures I continuously looked up before departing! It was very easy to...

Now that I am home, I feel both happy and sad. I have loved getting to see my family and friends after so long and share my pictures and experiences with them. I missed little things like sleeping in my own bed, driving, my dog, free water, and, of course, Chick-fil-A. I can also admit that I am relieved that classes have come to an end. These things aside, it seems weird that my time in Spain that I looked forward to for so long...

Obviously, all of the signs were in German, but I was relieved to see just how many of the employees at the airport spoke English. When I first arrived, I was a bit nervous and was eager to find my group so that I would feel more comfortable. However, once I found...
While Abroad in Berlin, Prague, and Budapest
So far my study abroad in Berlin has been an amazing experience and has given me so much more than I could have ever anticipated. From my previous post, I imagine I sounded like a nervous wreck telling myself that I wasn’t going to be alone in this adventure and reassuring myself that everything would work out okay. Luckily, this was exactly the case for me and I’ve been able to meet new friends that have helped dampen...
Looking Back on Time Abroad
Looking back on the past month I spent in Copenhagen, Denmark, I am overcome with happiness and excitement. While I am very glad to be back in the States, my studies abroad are going to be a time I will cherish and never forget. I made so many friends and got to experience so many cool things. In total I visited six different countries and 11 different cites. In Copenhagen, I felt fully immersed in the Danish culture and at home. By...
