Don't Forget To Pack: An umbrella or raincoat

Best Left At Home: Any shoes that you can't walk comfortably in, there's no uber so you have to at least walk to and from the metro/bus

Best Eats in the Area: Any coffee shop, the coffee and pastries are way better

Favorite Local Activity: Going on a walk and reading in a nearby park

Where to Study: Literally anywhere but your room, be outside, enjoy it

Must-Try Local Dish: Smørrebrød, they are a kind of open-faced sandwich. But make sure you eat it correctly or you'll be quickly identified as a non-local

Best Photo Op: Tivoli Gardens, the amusment park is cool but the gardens are beautiful

Your Biggest Fail: "Losing" my charger and conventer when I went to a different country, buying new ones and realizing that I dropped them behind my bed

Buy This: Licorice anything, I do not like licorice I tried it here because it's everywhere and it's way better

Not That: Drinks (of any kind) tend to be on the more expensive side (bars, restaruants, etc.) for example I got surprised when I was charged for water in a resturant.

Most Interesting Class: Devolpment and Programming of Serious Games, fun and interesting topic

Best Part of the Program: The study tour in session 2, it's a great way to definitely see another city and bond with your class

Unforgettable Weekend Trips: Hamburg was absolutely beautiful and the Miniatur Wunderland museum there was one of my highlights

Bonus Pro Tip: One of the coolest ways to explore the city is getting off the metro at a random stop and walking around
