Mia’s fun facts while studying abroad in Denmark 🇩🇰
1. My apartment and I would jump in the canals at least once a month (even in the winter)
2. I would eat at least 5 cardomon buns a week
3. I saw the actress Debby Ryan while eating at a restaurant called “Delphine”
Hi! My name is Mia Springer and last fall semester, I studied abroad in Copenhagen through @dis.copenhagen. Upon arrival, I immediately fell in love with the city, and bonded with my random roomies! We spent our days swimming in the canals, trying new food markets, and going to support the Danish soccer team. I lived in Peder Skrams Gade, a 15 minute walk from my classes. However, there is a metro line that can take you all around the city. Denmark is also very biker friendly, so I recommend trying them all and seeing what you like! 🇩🇰
When I was in Copenhagen, my core class was “polar biology.” This course took my class to Iceland for a week where we put our learning to the test! We got to travel around the country, hike, sight see, and make memories we will never forget!
