The last weekend of February saw the Cabin Trip, for all international students studying Political Science at the University of Copenhagen.

Around 50 students and Danish mentors took part in the weekend away in the countryside of Northwest Zealand.

The Cabin Trip is held each year and is quite popular among students who get the chance to meet most of their fellow classmates and have a great time.

This year was no exception: beer was abundant, laughs were omnipresent and great friendships were established.

Tour de Chambre party at Tietgenkollegiet

Most international students residing at a dorm will sooner or later have a 'Tour de Chambre'. This party is merely a good excuse to drink a ridiculous amount of alcohol and consists of going from one room to the other, drinking along the way.

This way you can see how 'hyggeligt' (cosily, ed.) your neighbour's room is decorated, get to know your roomates better and play games (drinking games, of course).

For the Tour de Chambre, your room needs to have a theme and it had better be a good one, because you're Danish counterparts do not lack imagination.

New internationals: From airport to auditorium

Carlsberg, Mærsk, Søren Kirkegaard and H.C. Andersen were some of the quintessentially Danish concepts presented to around 150 expectant and slightly nervous new international students from all over the world.

They had fought the cold and, in some cases, dragged enormous suitcases straight from the airport to the Faculty of Social Sciences so they could attend the International Office’s orientation meeting.

Copenhagen not good for the disabled

The University of Copenhagen (U of C) is tough on students with a disability. This is according to a report by the National Union of Students in Denmark (DSF). The U of C is relatively tougher on disabled students than both the University of Southern Denmark in Odense and Aarhus University, the report shows.

The sociologists and political scientists at the Faculty of Social Sciences have some of the most beautiful surroundings at the U of C.

Student outrage over canteen monopoly

Is it fair that student-run cafés with cheap coffee have to close because the canteen at the same place claims to have a monopoly on coffee sales?

That is the issue at stake at the Center for Health and Society (CSS) where Simply Cooking, the company which owns the canteen, has complained over the students’ cafés.

The darkness of the night was lighted up by the many colours. Dressed in creative combinations, students of CSS and their friends filled the main bar Kommunen and the basement of building four. Partying till the morning light the dancefloor, football tables and the many mini bars were rocking.

Party Watch: CSS revelry

The University Post sent a photographer and reporter to capture the best party animals of the evening at CSS, central campus Saturday night. The dress code of the merrymaking was 'Colours'. All departments taking part in the fun wore a specific theme colour.

Take a look at the daring sociology students dressed in green, the sexy psychologists in black, political scientists in bright red, masked public health scientists in yellow, hot caseworkers in purple, and anthropologists dressed as gigantic blue smurfs.

Uni party of the year at CSS next Saturday

With over 6,000 people working and studying there, events at the Faculty of Social Sciences (CSS campus) are usually packed, and next Saturday 28 April the annual spring party promises to be one of the biggest.

Originally housing a municipal hospital, the old buildings of CSS in Copenhagen will be filled with a variety of parties. Each department at CSS will host their own bar, drinks, music and events. Guests can cruise and crawl from bar to bar as they please.

New Social Science extension on the way

The construction site on the edge of the Faculty of Social Sciences might not look too appealing, but the campus is expecting to benefit from a new build in 2013.

The new building will expand the campus with new teaching spaces for the growing number of University of Copenhagen students. It will also become the shared home for another set of very different pupils.

It will provide more space for a city-centre kindergarten, which was originally housed on the site, and is currently in a temporary location.

Colombian student: We were ‘better mentors’

We did not have to wait long to see the reaction to a Faculty of Humanities Mentor Group decision to no longer use international students as mentors.

Colombian student Mauro Castaño is one of the international mentors who has been kicked out, and he finds the decision rude.

He himself had a Danish mentor when he arrived to Denmark and it was, he says, a complete disaster. The mentor couldn’t care less about him, he says.

International students valuable mentors

Are Danish students spoilt?

Comment: Education is not just to get a job

Words like ‘critical skills’ and ‘reflexivity’ are just trendy buzz. Instead we need to imagine a just world, argues Amir Susic, a humanities student at the University of Copenhagen
