Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
A few of my classes were fun in topics, but overall it was not very academic challenging. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
DIS is a very structured program targeting college students studying in America. The program has a strong support network system in terms of academic and wellbeing counseling. It also provides help with housing and other misc issues. |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
I lived in an apartment with two other people at a kollegium. I was lucky to have my own room and the building was recently renovated. |
| * Food: |
I had to cook on my own, but a part of your tuition will be money in your grocery card. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
|
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
You get free healthcare per Danish law, and DIS has a health care team that will help you with scheduling appointments. I personally didn't utilize them. |
| * Safety: |
Copenhagen is really safe. |
| If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program? |
Yes
|
Finances
|
* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?
(1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost) |
