My core course gave me an entirely new perspective of my surroundings. We read a novel taking place in 18th century Copenhagen that named the exact same streets surrounding our classroom. Reading some passages on site, I could see the same square I passed everyday in a completely new light. The poetry we read on Fanø exposed me to sides of the island that I would never have experienced on my own, especially when we had a discussion session with the poet.
