Review Your Program
|
* Overall educational experience
Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc. |
The educational system in Denmark is so vastly different from ours, in many aspects, but especially in the area of nursing education. |
|
* Host Country Program Administration
On-site administration of your program |
Ms. Vines was on-point at all times!! |
|
* Housing:
How satisfied were you with your living arrangements? |
The hotels provided us with everything that we needed and the area of the hotel was very safe. |
| * Food: |
The food was fabulous!! I recommend the Birdie Cafe in Odense and Restaurant #5 in Copenhagen. |
|
* Social & Cultural Integration:
How integrated did you feel with the local culture? |
|
|
* Health Care:
How well were health issues addressed during the program? |
|
| * Safety: |
We were warned about pick-pocketing before we left the U.S., but I can honestly safe that I felt just as safe, if not safer, in Denmark the entire time as I do at home here in the U.S. |
| 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) |
|
| Do you have any general money-saving tips for future study abroad participants? | It's expensive in Denmark. |
Language

A Look Back
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | Be prepared to do some leg-work learning the culture and the healthcare system of Denmark and know that you will be up EARLY every day that you are there, but it is SOOO worth it. Oh, and BE ON TIME!!! ALWAYS!!! |
