One week - or half an eternity

Nai-publish: 22.08.2016

Dear all!

I can hardly believe that I've only been here for just under a week! It feels like half an eternity or at least a few weeks. Let me tell you how things have been going so far:

This semester alone, over 500 international students are coming to the University of Aarhus. So, lots of people. I thought to myself, there must be a few new friends for me among them. :) And indeed, I quickly found a small group that I now meet with almost every day. We cook together, stroll through the city, and this week we even went together to a 'Deer Park' where we could pet and feed deer and deer.


We also noticed that EVERYONE - no matter which country they come from - had the same anxieties before studying abroad. Everyone was a bit nervous about what to expect there, whether they would find nice people, and how they would fit in. But now I can say that this was completely unfounded. Everyone is so nice and helpful, and after just one week, I already feel very at home.

Speaking of home: Yesterday, as announced, I moved into my actual apartment. After a unfortunately very laborious cleaning session, I could finally unpack and settle in. But now everything is in place and I feel very comfortable.


My apartment is located on a kind of jetty that juts into the sea. This morning, I was woken up by seagulls, and the first thing I see through the window is the city of Aarhus and the harbor. That's something very special. The dormitory (actually, 'dormitory' is a bit of an understatement) is 11 floors high, and there is even a rooftop terrace at the top. You have a great view all around! It's completely modern and located in a very up-and-coming and popular area. A lot is being built here at the moment because Aarhus will be the European Capital of Culture next year. The many construction sites should not be a bother. The view is still amazing.


Tomorrow is the first intro day at the university - I'm curious!

Aarhus ist ja 2017 Kulturhauptstadt. Uns gefällt die Regenbogen-Installation auf dem Dach des ARoS Kunstmuseums-von hier hat man einen ganz besonderen Blick auf das schöne Aarhus. Wir wünschen einen tollen Sommer in Aarhus LG Ute
