Are you going to study in the USA? Then expect to have your private social media combed for ‘hostile attitudes’ towards, among other things, the government. “An alarming development,” says the chairman of the Danish Students’ Council.
For many ambitious Danish students, the idea of spending a semester at Princeton, MIT, Harvard or Yale is the biggest dream. Because if you have a document proving that you attended one of the US’s so-called Ivy League universities, you are something special.
“There are people who have dreamed about it long before they even became students. It has always been one of the success criteria for the extraordinary to get to a top American university,” says Anton Teglbjærg, student at the University of Copenhagen and representative of the Student Council.
