Amazing Summer Abroad in Copenhagen! Past Review
By Sara E Rudolph (Case Western Reserve University) - abroad from 05/25/2016 to 07/01/2016 with
DIS Summer in Scandinavia
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I learned a lot about Danish culture and I really think Americans could learn a lot from the Danes. They are so much more relaxed and so much more efficient in almost everything they do. There is not nearly as much stress involved in the daily lives of Danes and they are just a much happier, healthier culture in general.

I really loved Denmark and Copenhagen is the cultural center of Denmark. There was so much to do and I left still having so much more I wanted to do and to learn which I think is what makes a study abroad programso great. |

A Look Back
| * What did you like most about the program? |
|
| * What could be improved? |
|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | I wish I knew more about Danish culture so that I would be more suited to fit in when I came. They dress so nicely and I mostly brought T-shirts and shorts so I was never dressed nicely enough to fit in with the Danes. I also wish I knew more about all the amazing things in Copenhagen beforehand so I could have started exploring them from day one! |
