My course lasts a month and is taught by two Danish researchers, Jakob Hansen and Morten Eierstad. During this time, I'll also be participating in the Visiting Family Program - which pairs me with a Danish family for cultural immersion - while living in a Kollegium, a student residence that typical Danish university students are independently housed in. During a weekend, I'll also be able to explore Denmark by going on a biking trip in Bornholm arranged by DIS.
Take a look at this tongue-in-cheek guide to Danish society - I was reading it on the DIS site in preparation for my summer travels and found out that Danes are paid by the government to attend university - clearly a very different approach from the American way.

Tell me how that bike riding trip is! I might sign up for it while I'm there!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of you semester students though - you guys have way more field trip opportunities!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great picture by the way. I also had fun reading your blog.
