for Study Abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark (i.e. the ‘happy’ capital of the world).Highlights of the program include taking coursework from actual practitioners who not just teach but actually do what they teach. Many of the courses also include applied experience opportunities for students. For example, students interested in education can take a practicum in the public school system where they get hands-on experience working with children in an international and very different education system from the U.S.
Beyond experiencing student life, Amy was also immersed in Danish culture. She attended the opera, participated in a hygge dinner, went on walking tours of the city, went to a Viking museum, learned about Danish language and culture, and even visited a Danish homestay.
One tip from this traveler: “If you ever find yourself in Denmark, be sure to follow the rules. Danes never jaywalk! And, you don’t need to say ‘please’ because the Danes are inherently polite without needing the redundancy of spoken pleasantry.”
