Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The field studies and core class trips really added to the experience. It was great to learn something and then see it applied in Danish society. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
|
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I lived with a 32 year old Danish roomate who stated I was her ninth student and it was an east way to rent the very small room/no allow me to use the living room. I also did not have a bed when I got there, DIS was shocked to learn that and eventually got me one. There are many housing options DIS allows you to do, however Tulane does not. The Kollegiums and DIS shared housing were great experiences with student age Danes in them that we were not allowed to choose form. I spent most of my time there anyway and then would have to go back to sleep in my lonely, empty apartment. |
