Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"More confidence and independence, as well as flexibility when it comes to making plans or adjusting to changes."
Emily Prechtl Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about the culture of Denmark, Scandinavia and Europe as a whole, and living in another country taught me a lot about what I like and what I would like to change in America. It was absolutely worthwhile and I would do it again in a heartbeat."
Sophie Clyde Wellesley College
"Loved the friends that I made, living in a new city and getting to know the neighborhood, trying local foods, getting around on bikes and public transport, ability to travel"
Christina Chen Wellesley College
"Learned how to manage time and plan better."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned that the world isn't always a great place but if you have some people that are passionate about change, there is potential to make it better. "
Nyomi Brandeis University
"I gained another loving family (my host family) and the knowledge of another country that I could love to visit again. I know way more about Denmark than I would have if I went to another country. I have found another home and I cannot wait to go back. "
A student Brandeis University
"Definitely worthwhile, honestly don't know how many tangible things I learned just because I am already an international student. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learnt to live alone in a completely foreign country. I made amazing friends"
Sanika Wellesley College
"It did broaden my world perspective, but in a very painful way. Did I learn a lot? Yes. Was it material that I wanted to learn, or that has improved the overall wellness of my life? Absolutely not."
A student Brown University
"My experience was definitely worthwhile in my architectural exposure outside of class and through forcing myself to expand by going abroad at all."
Jesse Woodhull Middlebury College
"It was! I learned that people really do operate differently in different cultures. In Denmark, emotions are something very personal. It’s weird to say how are you to someone, even a friend. "
Marek Haar Brandeis University
"I absolutely loved living abroad. I feel as though I've become more independent and have a greater understanding of the world and my place in it. I met lots of interesting people and made great friends. I completely fell in love with Stockholm and am incredibly grateful for the semester. "

A student Middlebury College

Benjamin Barrett Middlebury College
"I gained a lot of personal experience being on my own and traveling and exploring a new city. It was extremely worthwhile. "
A student Wellesley College
"A lot. I personally got a lot of relevant experience in things I cared about which was great. I was also forcibly put in alien social situations, which was a good push for me personally, and I think it helped me grow a lot as a consequence. For me, it was definitely worth my time and worth spending a semester."
A student Brandeis University
"While I was not particularly academically challenged, this experience far exceeded my other expectations. I learned that I am comfortable meeting new people and exploring unfamiliar cities. I surprised myself with my ability to navigate on my own. I learned how to cook for myself. Overall, my study abroad experience was incredib..."
