Copenhanging Past Review
By Mary Kate P (Finance and Financial Management Services., Villanova University) for
DIS Copenhagen: Semester
It was absolutely amazing to travel around Europe and I would suggest the opportunity, however I wish I knew more about what to except in Copenhagen before I choose to studying in the city.

I felt the class at DIS were more challenging compared to other abroad programs, however they were still easier than courses at Villanova. |
