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.

On Saturday 27 March our reporter had the chance to experience a Tour de Chambre at the dorms of Tietgenkollegiet (the cool, circular residence on Amager) which was followed by the Semester start Party at the bar on the ground floor.

Beer and boardgames at political science camp

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.

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.

Gallery: New international students at Science

New international students from throughout the world were brought together for an orientation meeting at Frederiksberg campus, the new Science faculty. The temperature outside was minus 10 degrees Celsius, but less than 50 per cent of the students present at the meeting answered that this was the coldest weather they’d ever experienced. Check out our footage, and see more photos on our facebook page here.

1/3 of full degree students homeless on arrival

A whole 29 per cent, almost a third, of full degree students do not have a place to live upon arriving in Copenhagen.

This is according to a recent study that also shows that three out of every five full degree students must find their accommodation on their own and three out of five full degree students are forced to move during their stay.

Gallery: Intercultural Christmas at LIFE

Days before December students and staff of faculty of Life Sciences met for a Christmas dinner. Taking place Friday November 25th the event included an international dinner and traditional Danish folk dancing. In order to participate, everybody had to bring a dish from their own country – in compensation they received two free drinks.

Thanks to Fernando González for capturing the festive evening! Check out all the different dishes and costumes and get in to the Christmas spirit!

University mourns loss of Kenyan activist

There are few that can herald the same accomplishments as Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai.

After seeing the effects of mass deforestation in Kenya, Mathaai started the Green Belt Movement, a grassroots movement towards promoting reforestation. She became an advocate for social justice, human rights, democracy and peace.

Overwhelming first day for new students

Copenhagen is a good place to be, say international students.

The Danish language, and the new university procedures are overwhelming. But most Danes speak English, and this helps things along.

International students had got together Thursday, some for their very first Danish language course, some for the University's orientation. It was a chance for newly arrived international students to meet the university, other exchange students and to learn something about the country where they’ll be spending the next few months.
