Sports in Aalborg
“On my second day in Aalborg, I joined the soccer training of AASI (Aalborg Studenternes Idrætsforening), which is the university’s sport association offering different sports such as volleyball, handball and soccer to name a few. For me, this was a great way to make new friends and feel at home in Denmark. Of course a lot depends on your own attitude. If you are not afraid to open yourself for others, others will also be open to you.”
