For all my countryfellow students

Especially for those of you who dream about studying abroad. Don't come here and look for instant gratification by trying to impress people you don't know with money you don't have, a common romanian tragedy. Te nasti in Romania, cresti acolo, parintii tai sunt in Romania au muncit toata viata, si cand vrei sa te duci la facultate, trebuie sa platesti. DAR vii in Danemarca si nu platesti. Si cand vii aici mai si critici, ca ce prosti sunt danezii, fraieri, etc.

Pe langa asta nici nu respecta sistemul. Se fofileaza si de la scoala, ca sa munceasca pe undeva.... si intrerupe scoala dupa 2 semestre, ca nu e sistemul bun. Inca o mostra de mentalitate mioritica paguboasa. Pai daca studentii vin sa studieze se presupune ca au cu ce se intretina din moment ce sunt decisi ca urmatorii 3-4 ani sa se dedice studiilor, ori daca mami si tati nu au bani sa te tina la facultate baga tu ambitiosule niste munca vreo cativa ani (pt ca daca vrei cu adevarat sa studiezi un anumit domeniu si ai cu adevarat inclinatii in sesnsul respectiv ambitia te va ajuta) si economiseste banii sa te intretii si abia dupa aia te inscri la facultate ... asa e firesc ... studiile superioare nu sunt pt toti sau mai bine zis facultatea este "facultativa" nu "invatamant obligatoriu".

Testimonials about life

Let me tell you a little secret! When I was younger, during my school days I always had a dream of where I would go to university.
I pictured myself studying at the Police Academy. The Academy in Bucharest is of course one of the universities constantly listed in the top 10 of the best institutions in my country. But back then it was not so much its renowned academic virtues that interested me but more what Police Academy represented to me. I saw the academy as one of the place that gives you a high status, recognition and a safe start in life. And more than that I saw it as a place where my ideals of honesty would matched.
But eventually my dreams of Police Academy faltered a bit. When I realized the cost and the academic achievements I would need to meet to be accepted the dream seemed more and more unrealistic. So instead of leaving for the well known Academy, I settled for the South East of Denmark and Vitus Bering University (now VIA) in Horsens. And to be honest once I had made my home in the small seaside town of Horsens and had embarked on the global business engineering program there - I never looked back. And I've never once regretted that my grand dreams of Police Academy were replaced by some slightly more down to earth goals.
Denmark is wonderful and everything I could have wished for both academically, socially and culturally.
So you might ask what is the point of this little anecdote? Well, in this week I have gladly answered to a short questionnaire, together with students from different countries, in a testimonial about studyindenmark. I am sure that you will find stories from an amazing variety of students. Some students are telling stories about studying in Denmark at some of the top universities, while others have spent time in slightly less known schools. And if you would like to see & read my testimonial click here.
The point of my story is that whether you choose or dream of a world-renowned university or find yourself in a college none of your friends have ever heard about, studying abroad is in 90 percent of the time always worth it.
You may have to settle for something different than what you initially planned for and find that you are rewarded many times over. Each institution, each college or university has something different to offer. At the end of the day, you are (in most cases) the one to decide what you take home with you at the end of your stay. Aim for the stars but don't be disappointed if you have to turn your ambitions down a notch or two. It might be the best thing that ever happened to you.

This is US (3 years jubileum)

What can you feel after living one year in a whole different place, in a different country, in a different house, with different people, with different friends, speaking in a different language, in a different school, with a different weather, different food, different timetables, different habits and most of all, in a totally different lifestyle?

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN IN DENMARK TOO LONG, WHEN:

You think there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing.

You think its normal to pick up a girl in a pub, walk her to her bike and ride with her back home.

You understand why not every type of meat can be put together on top of bread.

You think its impolite to sit next to someone in a bus if there is a bench where you can sit on your own.

You go to the supermarket and buy three good beers and 10 not too good ones.

You can open a beer bottle with almost anything.

You honestly believe that the distance between Copenhagen and Aalborg is long.

You can tell the difference between a Grøn Tuborg and a Carlsberg beer

The first thing you do on entering a bank/post office/pharmacy etc. is to look for the queue number machine.

You accept that you will have to queue to take a queue number.

When a stranger on the street smiles at you, you assume that:
a. he is drunk;
b. he is insane;
c. he is American;
d. he is all of the above.

Silence is fun.

It no longer seems excessive to spend 800 kr. on alcohol in a single night.

You know that "religious holiday" means "let's get pissed".

You use "Mmmm" as conversation filler.

The word "yes" is an intake of breath.

You have only two facial expressions, smiling or blank

Traditional dinners may not necessarily mean a cooked meal.

You forget how to open canned beer.

Can't remember when to say "please" and "excuse me".

You will leave a pub if you can't find a seat.

Your wardrobe no longer has suits but blue shirts and mustard colored sports jackets and lots of denim.

You don't mind paying the same for a 200-metre bus ride as you do for going 10 kms.

You start to believe that if it weren't for Denmark's efforts, the world would probably collapse pretty soon.

You find yourself more interested in the alcohol content than the name of the wine.

It feels natural to wear sport clothes and a backpack everywhere.

You know the meaning of life has something to do with the word "hyggelig".

You are very surprised when you receive compliments about ANYTHING - including your appearance/clothing! In fact when you do, you find it suspicious and start thinking they might have ulterior motives.

You've completely forgotten what a "date" is - no one ever comes to pick you up and unexpected gifts are VERY unexpected.

You don't think it strange that no one ever comes by to visit without being invited and you never show up at any one's place unannounced either.

You wouldn't dream of coming even 10 minutes early to a party. (Once around the block is always an alternative)

You find yourself lighting candles when you have guests - even if it is brightly sunny outside and 20 degrees.

Don't we love Denmark??!!

Football match

Steen Fybo Larsen has yet again challenged the constructing architect students.
Last time he did that, he bailed out in the last minute. Did anyone say "chicken"?
We believe that this time will succed with a football match.
If U would like to support the students, please come to the footballcourts behind the school the 3d of May 2007 at 16:00. You should be able to get a laugh or two.











Så har Steen Fynbo Larsen været så letsindig at udfordre de konstruktørstuderende endu en gang. Sidst var det i håndbold, men det blev desværre ikke til noget p.g.a kolde fødder. Nu prøver vi så at tro på det lykkes med en fodboldkamp. Har du lyst til at støtte op omkring eleverne, så mød op ved boldbanerne bag skolen torsdag d. 3/5 - 2007 klokken 16.00 . Der skulle nok være mulighed for et godt grin eller to.

Have a nice and sunny day too ;o)
