A teaser of Denmark that makes me want to keep going back July 26, 2025

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

Administration was very communicative and open to providing resources at any reasonable time. Because of substantial timely communication on their part and seemingly good organization, I barely had to seek their external services. However, I have heard of a few instances from students who were seeking mental health services that have had some difficulty receiving adequate help.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I was placed in Arts and Culture housing, which was my first choice. Accommodations were more than adequate and I thoroughly enjoyed the programming I got to participate in through my housing group.

I really appreciated the grocery card provided for us, and have heard similar sentiments from peers. It was definitely an essential when it came to making sure I was nourished throughout the program.

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

I learned a lot about Danish culture through my Danish Language and Culture course and my core course instructors as well as field trips. Even still, I would have appreciated more opportunities to converse with local Danes who weren't my instructors. It would have helped me move with more awareness and respect in Copenhagen. I also feel that people who did not take a Danish language class would have missed out even more.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I have not had to seek external healthcare services, but my roommate seems to have had a timely and reasonable experience when she was in need of immediate help. However, I do recall she may have been pushed to stay overnight at a hospital when she felt it was unnecessary, although I myself do not know the details of this.
