Fellow Americans at DTU

Besides your other UIUC students at DTU, there will be a few other American universities represented. This is based on the ones I've met in my time here so far, but there are probably others as well.

  • UIUC
  • RPI - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York. This university sends even more than UIUC, usually around 10-12. From what I've heard they have rooms set aside in Kampsax for their students in some agreement with DTU.
  • University of Maryland at College Park sends quite a few as well, I've only met 3 so far though.
  • University of Wisconsin - Madison has sent 2 that I have met, and probably a few others
I'd imagine there are a few masters students from the US as well, considering there are many international masters students at DTU.

For other people with English as their native language, there's the Australians. If I remember correctly, I've met 8 so far from different universities down under, and there are probably more. 

Everyone knows English here one way or another so I sort of always feel at home. I can understand that a lot of students from other countries who might have come alone are feeling out of place when they can't talk about their home country with their fellow citizens. I don't think I've met anyone like that yet, but it's still always good to include everyone in your conversations!
