From the Paper:

"I read before I left that ;The Danish education system has a tradition of focusing not only on academic accomplishments, but also on the students; personal development and contributing to making them committed community members. Democracy and shared experiences are given a high priority, and the students critical sense is sharpened; (Way of life). It is true, the teacher seems much more interested in us as people, not just students. We have to learn English in school, and most of the classes are in Danish. So far, I haven t had much problem understanding the instructors, but I find the homework is much harder. We often work together in groups, and Jens and I spend several hours each night working on projects for class. I think the classes here seem harder, and the students seem more serious, even though they are certainly less formal than we were at home. I m not the only international student here, there are several of us, and we meet together once a week or so to support each other, and trade experiences. "
