3 Weeks is Not Nearly Long Enough, but I Wouldn't Trade it for the World Past Review
By Morgan J (Biology, University of Tulsa) - abroad from 06/15/2015 to 07/04/2015 with
DIS Summer in Scandinavia
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I definitely gained some independence! The program leaves you a lot of time on your own, and you really have to take charge of yourself and decide how you want to use your time. It was absolutely worthwhile.

|
| Not including program expenses, about how much money did you spend on food and other expenses each week? | Less than $100 |
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | Denmark is an expensive country to visit, due to high taxation (the system seems to work well for people who live there, but not so much for us visitors!). Buy groceries. Cook often. Definitely go out and eat at the local places occasionally - just don't do it all the time! |
