Introduction

Howdy!


This blog will contain updates of the knowledge that I acquire while I'm studying aboard at Texas A&M University. As a finance major, I'm taking a course of decision making in American Real Estate whilst in America and will therefore use this blog to highlight what I like about real estate coming from Denmark and how that in many was is the same and/or is different from real estate in America. First, let me briefly introduce myself so you know what I'm about.




My name is Peter Pudselykke and as pointed out before I'm a foreign exchange student taking this fall semester of my senior year at Mays Business School, Texas A&M. I'm a finance major originally from a smaller town 40 miles outside Copenhagen, the capitol of Denmark but I'm taking my bachelor degree at Copenhagen Business School (which by the way is ranked 3rd in business schools of 1000 schools in the world behind the business program in Harvard and London Business School http://www.cbs.dk/node/236991). I'm taking this course (FINC 371) since Copenhagen Business School doesn't offer electives in real estate and because I think real estate is interesting and difficult especially after the credit- and liquidity crisis in the last decade. My goals for this class is to get a basic understanding on what drives real estate in American and pair that with the basic understanding I have coming from Denmark and the real estate market in my home country. So I'm really looking forward for this class.




Coming from Denmark, it's a bit unusual that I have been playing football for the last 6 years of my life (since people in general play soccer). Of European standards I was doing fairly well e.g. I spend some years on the Danish national team competing in the Scandinavian as well as the European Championships. Football is my main hoppy, so I suppose America is the right place to go aboard to (especially in Texas). I watched my first collegiate game at Kyle field Saturday 6th so it was a pleasure to see A&M BTHO Lamar! I'm already looking forward to next game!




This kind of sums up a small introduction about myself. I will regularly post updates regarding my financial class of real estate with emphasis on the differences between America and Denmark as mentioned in the prophase.
