I Am CMU

Copenhagen, Denmark
I got home to find some of the other exchange students all excited about the MTV European Music Awards, which are being held in Copenhagen this year. It has been the talk of our residence hall for a while now. I live in a complex with 65 other exchange students from all over Europe and the world. Getting to know these people has been the highlight of my trip.

My favorite spot to go and hang out with them is Nyhavn, which means “new harbor” in Danish. (P.S. They have the best ice cream there, too.) There are many outdoor restaurants along the canal at Nyhavn, and people sit outside well into October to enjoy the sun and fresh air. I feel so lucky to be able to discover this new city for four months and, believe me, there is a new thing to discover every day in Copenhagen. The best thing that I ever did for myself was coming here.
