A student Wellesley College
"Upon my acceptance into DIS, I was expecting a unique and immersive experience of Danish culture. Within my three months of attending DIS, my expectations have been surpassed. To describe DIS as “immersive” understates their intense efforts. Before coming to Copenhagen, I was only expecting my core course, Medical Practice and P..."

Breanna W Wellesley College
"The majority of my time in the program was in remote Zoom classes due to COVID-related border protocols. These classes were fun, but not the study abroad experience I had hoped for.
