BEST Copenhagen changed my life completely
True story! Let me tell you how... Once upon a time I was facebooking after my classes and I saw a post from a friend of mine: APPLY FOR BEST SUMMER COURSE - new friendships and the BEST time of your life are guaranteed. I decided to give it a chance. Why not? I had never been to Denmark, the subject of the course is very interesting and it last 2 weeks of summer holidays - let's try. After 2 weeks I got confirmation that I was accepted. I was very happy, and a bit curious... How is it going to be? What is BEST? How are going to be other people there? Is it good thing for me? Everything had happened so fast- on 15th of August 2011 I met 21 luckily selected participants from all over the Europe, 4 lovely co-organizers from Romania and Italy and 17 AMAZING organizers of the summer course- LEt's GO! Don't MIND the STORMS from LBG Copenhagen. Everyone was so open, friendly and helpful, that immediately I felt like home. Before coming to Copenhagen I read that Denmark is officially the happiest place on Earth. After participating in the course I know why is it so! I had a wonderful opportunity to visit Copenhagen, mixing fun and education, where everyone enjoyed Danish culture, and met engineering students from all over Europe, that now ARE my international life-long friends. The course focused on designing and building robots, using LEGO速 MINDSTORMS NXT, and did consist of both theoretical and practical lessons. Besides, company visits in Sweden and trips completed our experience. We even went to LEGOLAND! That was so great! Classes were very interesting and useful! Even for students that were from different fields of studies. After our classes we always had evening activates, were we were integrating and having a lot of fun together. We were playing many games, went on a canoe trip, had guided tour in Copenhagen and Christiania, took part in traditional Danish Christmas dinner and had a lot of crazy parties! In addition to this, after the course I realized that I want to be part of BEST, so I joined my local BEST group in Gdansk, Poland. What's more- I was so fascinated about DTU, that I applied for my Masters studies there. So, if you have chance- APPLY! BEST courses can simply make everything happen! :)
