Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I learned how different Denmark is from America, and in a lot of ways I saw it as better. It was such a worthwhile experience being able to explore a new city on my own while still having my housing taken care of and taking a class. "
A student Longwood University
"I learned a lot about Danish culture and the important differences between Americans and Danes, making me want to be more like them in some ways but also realizing some important flaws we both share. "
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely worth wild. I learned that I do much better when I place less emphasis on the grading of assignments and more focus on the course itself."
Brandon Smalls Trinity University
"It was extremely worthwhile. Not only did I learn the material from the course I was taking, but I learned how to be independent and live on my own.

A student Colgate University
"I gained knowledge from my class, but the experience itself was ultimately average at best."
A student Goucher College

A student Wofford College
"I gained an understanding and appreciation of another culture. I learned what public transportation can - and should - be. I made friends. I fell in love with a Dane. I ate new food. I sort of learned a new language. I got to travel to Denmark and other European countries. I learned about politics in Denmark. I gained a more bal..."

A student Scripps College
"It was definitely worthwhile. In the classroom, I learned a lot about economics of crime, economics of the environment and sustainable design. I really felt educated on and connected to Danish Culture. I was very lucky to have my particular housing set up (Socialt Kollegium), because I have made lifelong friends with the Danes o..."
