REC 15/16 = ...Honestly the best year of my life!
Very good school, friendly and good teachers, amazing experiences and journeys... :)
You have to be ready for A LOT of friends and people 24/7, which I really like, but if you aren't in love with the though, you can always get a single-room ;) (They have 1-7 pers. rooms) I loved the thought of always having someone close to me and it was an amazing experience for me.
It is the second largest efterskole (boarding school) in Denmark, with about 420 students, so of course you have to be ready for that, but for me it was all really great.
You dont only get to be a student of the school, but you get to be a part of it! The school year is split into 3 "stages". The optional course, the cultural course and the optional course again. The optimal course is the first and last part of the year, where you get to pick a subject that you really like, to focus on. Such as: Diving, art, music, sport, adventure, street performance, motor bike and so much more. The cultural course is in the middel of the school year, where you get to focus on a location. Such as: Hawaii, London, Australia, Brazil, Rio and much more. If you suddenly get an idea for a new subject or location you simple just gather 8-10 people who also want to do it and make a presentation for the teachers, and then the subject is made! :) I made Hawaii with some of my friends, and it is one of the biggest locations now, only 2 years later! :)
One thing I also really liked was that you get to make your own schedule, I love english and so I picked "Cambridge English" which is a higher level and if you are like me, and dont really like math, you can be on a lower level, so that you can focus on the subjects you like.
I got to go on amazing journeys; where i sailed in Greece, went diving and surfing in hawaii, skated though the streets of Berlin, went skydiving out of a plane and made some life-long friends, so all in all, the best year of my life. REC 15/16 will always be a big part of me, and will always be in my heart.
CAN ONLY RECOMMEND IT! :)
