My experience as a Summer School student in Denmark

Their expansive menu ranges from açai bowls and raw smoothies to lentil burgers and peanut butter milkshakes.

Two Weeks in Copenhagen
Alice Logan, English Literature and American Studies, Univeristy of Copenhagen After just two weeks in Copenhagen, I already feel at home in this beautiful city and am slowly acclimatising to the depths of Danish winter. I defy anyone to not have positive first impressions of this incredible city. Copenhagen boasts beautiful architecture, both modern and Renaissance, canals to rival Amsterdam, a multitude of ornate gardens and the most beautiful harbour that’s so colourful it can cheer you up even when the sky is grey (which it is 90% of the time).
