Finding housing in Denmark as an international student had proven to be quite the challenge. But once I settled for a room in the Smiths Overfor collective, I couldn't be happier! At first, I had no idea what to expect… I sent off my application and did an interview in front of 8 potential housemates and hoped for the best. Luckily, I was accepted and welcomed warmly upon my arrival.

While studying abroad, I have been motivated to keep on top of my studies so that I can use my spare time to explore my hobbies, travel, and make new friends. It’s been quite the process, and while I haven’t always achieved the balance I’d hoped for, I’d like to share what I have tried, what’s been working, and what hasn’t.
