Where did the time go? Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

The classes are demanding, yet rewarding. Classes require work and trips outside of class hours, but activities and assignments were useful towards the class objectives.

On-site administration of your program

People were available to talk to for the most part. Email was the best source of communication, bug staff were in the offices in Copenhagen during the week.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

My first home stay did not work out, but housing worked with me to change and the second homestay was amazing and a perfect fit. DIS normally does a good job of matching, but situations can change. They are always willing to worm with you so that you can gain the most from your semester,

A lot of boiled potatoes and pork!

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

You have to take the initiative to integrate into the culture yourself either through your homestay or getting to know locals since the program is mostly American students.

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Great healthcare. Most of the people spoke English, and it was all covered by the program and the country visa.

Denmark is very safe, the only safety issue would be living far from the city and making it home in the evening or night. The trains ran weird schedules sometimes so you could get stuck in places, but for the most part it was very safe. I had no major issues.

(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)

Copenhagen and Scandinavia in General is very expensive. Be prepared to spend $10-20 dollars on an average meal.
