Besna On the Go
One of the perks of being a full-year student at DIS was not having to say goodbye to Copenhagen as early as other students. However, my decision to move to a different housing for next semester (Outdoor LLC: read Shantika’s blog entry) combined with having to say goodbye to my friends, felt like I was […]
Here I am, writing another blog post about another academic trip to another city: Lisbon. Since 2021, Lisbon has been at the very top of my list of cities to visit. Mainly because of the strong recommendations I got from my close friends but also because of a song I discovered in July 2022. I […]
In my last blog post, I gave you an overview of the first half of my Long Study Tour in London. Now, it’s finally time for the other half! Wednesday, November 8th Since we had free time in the morning, I decided to go around the City of London to do one of the Rick […]
This blog post is by far the most exciting one I’ve ever written. Why? Because it’s about the Long Study Tour that I’ve been yearning for months!! I remember the first time I read the class description for my Core Course, in March 2023, and noticed the box where it said “Week-Long Study Tour: United […]
One day, as I was walking between my classes on Vestergade Street, I realized concrete blocks on a cobblestone sidewalk (see the third photo).

Why was the sidewalk a combination of cobblestones and concrete when they could have easily replaced all the cobblestones […]

It was my parents’ first time in Europe, and they loved Copenhagen! This experience got me thinking about all the fantastic places this city has to offer. […]
The Copenhagen Fall finally arrived, and I am really excited about it. Of course, biking has become harder since the wind is stronger now, but hey, I am not willing to give up anytime soon! Fortunately, even during the most challenging bike ride, I can take a brief look around and notice the beautiful color […]
A lot of things about us humans baffle me, and creativity is absolutely one of them. I find it hard to understand how people like Leonardo da Vinci, Marie Curie, Picasso, Virginia Woolf, and many others create such creative works. Since I struggle with creativity myself, I thought taking a neuroscience course called “Cognitive Neuroscience […]
A few weeks ago, I joined a tour of one of Copenhagen’s neighborhoods: Nørrebro. In 2021, Time Out Magazine ranked Nørrebro as the coolest neighborhood in the world. Factors such as diversity, food, and nightlife contributed to that ranking. There are tons of online resources as guides to what to do in Nørrebro, and maybe […]
I guess we can all agree that one of the few things a study abroad student would want is to spend their first full weekend at a hospital. When I opened my eyes on a Saturday morning, the last thing I expected to feel was unbearable lower abdominal pain. My first action was to take […]
