AMAZING. I was Able to see several really cool corners of the world. Past Review
By A student (Strategic Communications, Elon University) - abroad from 08/13/2015 to 12/13/2015 with
DIS Copenhagen: Semester
I learned to roll with the punches a little bit more. If a problem arises, especially while abroad you need to stay calm to a certain degree in order. More so rolling with the punches can lead to such amazing and remarkable experiences. If you are able to go with the flow it can lead to an immersive experience you never thought you could have.

Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
DIS does a very good job in providing a balance with challenging and interesting work. Additionally, they respect the fact that you are abroad and want to have more experiences away from the classroom. The style of work is also more based towards interactivity, which is incredibly important when one is in another country. |
