What Brock students say about studying at Aarhus University
Simone L.
4th Year Applied Linguistics
Simone took advantage of every opportunity her exchange experience with Aarhus University offered, from social activities hosted by the university and its international department, to trips around the country. She met people from all over the world, making lifelong friends and connections with other students from China, Japan, Portugal and France.
“This experience has made me realize how different education is in different countries! I’ve had experiences in classrooms that I wouldn’t have had at home. Denmark has a very young population, which helped me make friends and integrate into the culture easily. Aarhus University offers classes in English, and the majority of the population speaks English, so this took some weight off my shoulders. I’ve been able to meet people from all over the world, gain more independence, and learn how other people in different countries live!”
