Profile: Caroline Swan '22

Major/minor: Business and Economics with a Hispanic Studies minor
Year abroad: Brandeis in Copenhagen, Summer 2021
Reason you chose this program: I wanted to be able to study abroad without having to commit to a full semester.
Favorite classes: Behavioral Economics
Housing situation: Apartment style
What were some parts of your identity that you took into consideration while studying abroad and about which other students may want to talk to you? I am an athlete and I had to be sure that I could be able to prepare for a quick turnaround after abroad, going into my soccer preseason. I made sure that I could find a gym, a field to play on, and a few teams to practice with.
Best memory: Spontaneously bungee jumping at sunset on the canals
Greatest challenge: Finding an appropriate wardrobe for the cultural norms
What you know now that you didn’t know before: Denmark is actually a utopia. It is perfect.
Fact about Denmark that you think people would be surprised to learn: The society has such a flat structure that nobody uses formal pronouns to address one another. You only ever use "Mr." and "Mrs." when addressing royalty
