Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

On-site administration of your program

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

Dorm, loved my living arrangements, I was in the Signalhuset Kolligeum, where I was about a 10 minute walk from the metro which goes into Nørreport the station closest to DIS and the Regional train station which can take you to the central station, Nørreport, the airport and many other places, I had a single room in an apartment with three other people, we shared a kitchen, living space and two bathrooms

Fruit and Veg are not as expensive as in the states, because the farming communities in Denmark and close to the city. Though I do not eat pork and that is a huge meal staple in Denmark so I had trouble sometimes

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

I didn't have any experience on my own, though my good friend had a lot of difficulty because it took them over a month and a half to diagnose a severe chest infection and it was only when they were coughing up what can be assumed was blood did they get the scans they needed and even then they were prescribed medication that their allergies prevented them from taking

It felt pretty safe for the most part, I would walk home in the middle of the night from the train station and only had two experiences of harassment in that environment. Though I feel as if those were outliers because the individuals were not Danish

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

We were given a food stipend from our tuition that helped but did not last the entire semester, I also had many days of classes where I was there for eight hours straight without much breaks so instead of packing a lunch before the day I picked something up between classes and that added up

0 = No encouragement, 5 = frequent encouragement to use the language

Once I learned to prefer in Danish, I would and it was appreciated but not required, same with pleasantries on the street
