An incredible semester in Copenhagen! Past Review
By A student (Wellesley College) - abroad from 08/18/2018 to 12/15/2018 with
DIS Copenhagen: Semester
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned a lot more about the world after living in a new place with a different perspective. Being in a place with different outlooks and ways of life really makes you question your own way of doing things.
