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. Finally getting to visit Denmark in the last few weeks of the semester, however, was incredible. Those ten days were thrilling, fast, and deeply joy..."

A student Wellesley College

A student Wellesley College
"I learned how valuable traveling is to developing one's independence, character, and new interests. There is so much to be learned from new places and the people you'll meet there. Every single cliché things you hear about the value of traveling is true. "

"It was so valuable to learn about Danish culture. I learned quite a lot about American culture as well!

A student Brandeis University
"How to live in a foreign country, details of a foreign healthcare system, important class work. Definitely worthwhile "
A student Middlebury College
"I gained invaluable experience in the Danish education system, made amazing friends, and found a culture that I could see myself living in long-term in the future. I also gained more confidence and independence by being so far away from home. It was absolutely a worthwhile experience!"
A student Wellesley College
"The saying goes that you only can truly understand your own country when you leave it, and it really rang true during my time in Europe. Not only do you get the opportunity to meet Danes, but also students from all around the US and see the way others live outside of the US. It really broadened my lens to a global scale and made..."
Amanda L Brandeis University

A student Brandeis University
"good for architecture, very worthwhile"
A student Wellesley College
"How to bike in a major city (that was also made for biking as commute). How to cook for myself and ration groceries and money.
