Denmark is ranked 10th among the greenest countries in the world and it also ranked as the least corrupt country in the world in the year 2008.
Denmark's northern location means that summer days are long and lovely and winter days are short and dark.
However the Danes have established cosy, festive traditions that bring life to the darker season, which are all explained to the international students in "real life" interaction throughout the academic year.
