Life Changing Experience in the Wonderful Land of Denmark Past Review
By Kyle S (International Business, California State University - Chico) for
Copenhagen Business School: Copenhagen - Direct Enrollment & Exchange
Absolutely, my perception of how cultures function outside of the US was an eye opening experience. Denmark is a perfect example of how socialism can work, which was completely contrary to my beliefs before my study abroad experience. The woman are beautiful, the city is gorgeous, the people are extremely friendly (and most of them speak english).

The process of adding and dropping classes was a nightmare, and their online learning center is way to complex to figure out. But, the CBS study abroad progam does a great job of introducting to the Danish social scene. They throw lots of great parties, and they ensure you make many life-long friend during you time in Copenhagen. |
