City Campus (University of Copenhagen)

Transcription

[music] E: My study abroad experience was in Copenhagen, Denmark. W: My study abroad experience involved me going to Copenhagen University. E: It was the best thing I've ever done. W: Copenhagen University is spread out throughout the state and has many different campuses. Whereas here we have one campus. [music] W: The classes in Denmark are way different from Purdue. E: They are four hours long with breaks in between. W: I had classes three days a week. E: You don't have daily homework or quizzes and tests. But all together it was good to see how other people learn and get the experience of being in a classroom with people from all over the world. [music] E: I made friends in many different countries. I lived in the city center in an apartment building with primarily all students who were studying abroad. W: You stay with a lot of international students so I made tons of international friends E: I had six different roommates from all over the world, Spain, Holland, France, a girl from California, Chicago. [music] E: The people while I was there were really nice. Everybody was really friendly. W: Danes are nice, they're super nice. E: I really felt there was no language barrier. Danish people speak English probably better than we do. W: They are the most helpful people. I miss Danes. E: As far as communication barriers, there was absolutely none. [music] E: There's really endless things to do. W: In Copenhagen there's so much to do. You can always go down to the harbor, it's called New House. It's a really famous, picturesque harbor. Alll these colored houses. E: It's a beautiful city to start out. It's really clean. There's always people walking about. There's a lot of great restaurants to go to. W: Everyone's walking, everyone's biking. If you go you should probably get a bicycle because everyone bikes. You feel so Danish once you're biking. E: You can go to the Carlesberg Museum, you can see the Little Mermaid. [music] W: Studying abroad is one of the best things I have ever done for myself. E: I'd recommend every student study abroad. It is one of the best things you can do while you're in college. W: I feel like I just grew up really. E: There's really no other time that you can travel to a different country for months at a time and have really no worries. W: You get to really find out what you do and what you don't like versus what you're just used to. E: Being in a different country for an extended period of time not only broadens your views on where you're from but it opens your eyes on how other people live as well. W; It was one of the best times of my life.
