When can I go back? Past Review

By (Trinity 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?
Absolutely worthwhile. My classes allowed me to see how Denmark and other European countries make their renewable systems work, as well as give more insight into environmental issues. I met some amazing people that I plan to keep in touch with long after the program has ended, enjoyed every aspect the the city had to offer. The experience helped me grow as an individual, and it is something that I will always look back on fondly.

I got a lot out of the courses I took, and learned a lot of new information that I would not have had the chance to learn in the states. That along with the amazing culture and people of Copenhagen, I would absolutely go with this program again if I had the chance to do it all again.
