This year\u2019s UCPH Matriculation Ceremony was about coming together and officially inducting students into the University of Copenhagen. We randomly selected a group of random new students to share their random thoughts with us. This was what came out of it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Caris, China, English Studies: \u201cI asked one of my Danish friends to tell me where can I find a special Danish dish and which restaurant is the best for that. Do you know what he said? \u2018Oh, go to the supermarket and buy a piece of rye bread and some cheese. That\u2019s just fine.\u2019 International food restaurants are good, though\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

China, Humanities Faculty. \u201cThe best thing about Denmark? All men are very handsome!\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Thorbj\u00f8rn, Denmark, Biotechnology: \u201cI\u2019m originally from Falster, in the southern part of Denmark and I just moved to Copenhagen. I like how every culture is accepted here and how many foreigners there are. No matter how different your personality might be, you can always find someone who is a lot like yourself.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Irene, Spain, Food Science: \u201cI\u2019m very surprised of how kind people are in Copenhagen. If they see you wondering around with a map they ask if you need help. The weather, however…it\u2019s sunny and then suddenly it\u2019s raining like there\u2019s no tomorrow.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Gareth, England, Architecture: \u201cBack where I come from, you know people riding bikes by their first name. There is a crazy amount of bikes here. That\u2019s the biggest culture shock I got. Oh, and how a car actually stops in front of you when you want to cross the road. Right now, though, all I want is to actually find a place to live.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Cristina and Jennifer California, USA, Animal Science: \u201cWe\u2019ve been here for a month and we are very surprised by the Danish drinking culture. BIG SHOCK.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Sarah and Nina, Denmark(Afghanistan\/ Iraq family),Law: \u201cWe\u2019ve grown up with two different cultures, Danish and our families\u2019 culture. For example, with food, I love both, I would not choose one or the other one. I prefer not to prefer.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

The Netherlands, Law: \u201cI feel like I should hide this beer. Should I hide it for the picture? I don\u2019t know how things work here!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Ahmad and Nima, Denmark, Pharmacy: “One of my happiest moments was when I got accepted into UCPH. I was afraid I was going to be rejected but I got in. Well, I wasn\u2019t afraid of it. I mean, I knew I would get in.” <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/picture><\/div>\n

Frederike, Marie, Julie, Line, Germany\/ Norway \/ Denmark, Medicine: \u201c-When you\u2019re a foreigner it’s hard to adjust to the quantities of the beers here. I\u2019m half Danish, so there isn\u2019t that much to adjust to.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n
