Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I learned how to be independent, learned how to deal with getting lost, eating new foods, getting accustomed to a new family and realizing that life is too short to not create who you want to be everyday. "

"I learned so much, including being independent, open minded and exposed to different cultures!"
A student Providence College
"I learned a lot about Danish culture, and ended up developing a real affinity for it. Great place, great people. I also learned about areas of neuroscience that aren't typically taught at the undergraduate level in the U.S., making it a really unique experience."

Jackson Watson Middlebury College
"Becoming better acquainted with Danish culture was definitely worthwhile; understanding some of the issues in modern Danish society gave me a better appreciation for the United States and other countries I had previously visited. At the same time, I'm appreciative of the opportunity to have learned about Danish culture, understo..."
A student Wellesley College
"I really enjoyed all the traveling I was able to do. "
A student Wellesley College
"I gained relationships and exposure to new types of learning that were much more hands on than I could have ever imagined"
A student Wellesley College
"I achieved my goals of being on this program: taking design classes that are not offered at my home institution and living in a Scandinavian country and exploring other European cities. In that aspect, I'd say the four months were successful. However, if I could choose again, I'd choose a full immersion program rather than DIS, ..."
A student Wellesley College
"I actually learned a lot about myself and my current motivations and goals. "
Adeline du Crest Wellesley College
"I gained independence, new friends, and more awareness of how to travel"
A student Wellesley College
"I definitely learned to be more independent and stand up for myself. It can be difficult, especially while meeting so many new people to continue to remember who you are, but I definitely did! Going abroad was definitely worthwhile, because it forced me to break out of my shell. "
A student Brandeis University
"While I suppose I learned a bit academically, in reality I learned much more about living independently, the logistics of traveling, and getting by without speaking the local language (mainly in countries outside Western Europe where most people speak English)."

A student Brandeis University

A student Brandeis University
"Through my classes, field studies and study tour, I gained a new understanding of the health care systems throughout Europe. Through traveling, I also learned how to be more independent and outgoing. I learned a lot about Danish culture as well and grew to deeply appreciate Danish society."
A student Brandeis University
"Yes, the abroad experience was amazing. I learned to be more open minded and when looking at cultural norms and differences to ask why Danes do things a certain way rather than just accept/dismiss them. Flexibility is also a large part of study abroad (ie. the pending country-wide strike that almost prevented us from leaving the..."
A student Brandeis University

"I learned to adjust to life in another county and it was worthwhile. "
