After returning home I had to adjust to my old environment. One of the biggest changes was that I had to drive everywhere instead of taking public transportation or having the option to walk. I recommend giving yourself some time to adjust to your old routine. Also,...

With one last hurrah before leaving Denmark, the last week of our program was a nice reprieve from some pretty rigorous coursework. We finally had plenty of time to do a few last excursions into Copenhagen to make memories. As a program with DTU, we had a short trip...

After studying abroad for the winter semester in Denmark, I decided to stop by Iceland on the way home. The country subsidizes flights so returning home through Iceland with a layover for a few days was actually cheaper than flying straight back! I highly...

My first impression of Denmark was, “is everyone that good-looking?” It was common to pass people that are model-level couples out on a stroll together. Copenhagen and Lyngby themselves were quite clean besides some graphity by the s-tog and metro...
