There are certain qualities that incoming students associate with people from here up north. To most, a typical Dane is tall, blonde, blue-eyed, well-dressed, Viking-like, friendly, eco-conscious, and in love with drinking and biking.<\/p>\n

This can be seen from a light-hearted prejudice test carried out by the University Post at the orientation meeting Thursday for new exchange students.<\/p>\n

We asked participants to fill out a small slip of paper during the meeting. The task was to first brainstorm for thirty seconds, then write one or two words on what their pre-conceived notion about what Danish people are like. (Danes are\u2026 ). Students were asked to focus on their idea of Danes before they had gotten a chance to get to know any of them properly.<\/p>\n

Socialist<\/h2>\n

About a hundred replies were turned in. The answers were brimming with wackiness, depending on the Danish vibe that came through the strongest. Some of them were directly contradictory, for instance calling Danes both \u2018friendly\u2019 and \u2018reserved\u2019 in one sentence.<\/p>\n
