Katherine K Middlebury College
"I enjoyed my classes because the students (especially in my core course) were very like-minded and so we ended up having such impactful discussions. I was able to explore topics related to my major in a more international sense, which is exactly what I wanted going in to the program. I really enjoyed traveling with my class and ..."

"I gained independence and freedom. "

A student Brandeis University
"I could not speak more highly about DIS Copenhagen. It is a well-run program in a lovely city. I was challenged to ask deep questions about the world we live in while also being provided ample opportunities for fun. It was truly a semester filled with joy! "

A student Middlebury College
"Even though Copenhagen is a very accessible city with a high quality of life, abroad is inherently an uncomfortable experience.

Anna W Middlebury College
