Pictures from the first few days

Here's (part of) my room! It's really big, and it has two nice, large windows that let in what little daylight is available 

Enjoying our fist proper dinner, with multiple courses and everything

My friend Emilia and I biked into Roskilde from our kollegium in Trekroner this afternoon. The ride isn't too long at all, and it was nice to get some exercise, even if it is cold! This is the main walking street in Roskilde. It's full of great shops and restaurants and cafes; the town will definitely be a nice place to hang out when I don't want to make the commute into Copenhagen to go out to eat or for drinks. 

More of the winding streets and beautifully colored buildings of Roskilde

In the distance, you can see water! I'll definitely be exploring this more once it warms up. 



Roskilde Cathedral, the first gothic cathedral to be built of brick, dates back to the 12th or 13th century 

The twin spires of the cathedral 

January 19: Today was cold and gray, but we walked around the city nevertheless, exploring some of the famous landmarks close to DIS. These pictures, while not of the landmarks themselves, should give you a pretty good sense of a typical Copenhagen landscape, including the architecture, weather, and BIKES

Bikes are everywhere, including in front of the Danish Royal Library
