Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"Absolutely worthwhile. My classes allowed me to see how Denmark and other European countries make their renewable systems work, as well as give more insight into environmental issues. I met some amazing people that I plan to keep in touch with long after the program has ended, enjoyed every aspect the the city had to offer. The ..."

"I learned a lot about Danish culture and I really think Americans could learn a lot from the Danes. They are so much more relaxed and so much more efficient in almost everything they do. There is not nearly as much stress involved in the daily lives of Danes and they are just a much happier, healthier culture in general."
Sara E Rudolph Case Western Reserve University
"I gained a lot of independence, I think everyone should have the same opportunity."
Francesca Marsh Elon University
"I learned a good deal about how to fend for myself in a confusing and unfamiliar environment."
A student Vanderbilt University
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I had never been abroad long enough to really immerse myself in the culture or take time to explore a city beyond the main tourist attractions. I not only learned a lot about Danish culture, I learned a ton in both of my classes, gained a lot f confidence in my ability to navigate and entirely new e..."
Emma Baske University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill
"A little more perspective concerning myself and cultural differences. Yes it was very worthwhile."
Charles Wright University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill

Perry Ganz University of Maryland - College Park
"Your study abroad experience is contingent on how adventurous you are. Make an effort to put yourself out there. "

"I became a lot more independent and was able to learn how to travel alone in a city and adapt to a new culture. "
Adrianna Gildner Middlebury College
"To trust my instincts, whether I'm lost in the city or making a huge life decision, Copenhagen helped me to trust my instincts always. "
Melissa Seabolt West Virginia Wesleyan College
"As I've said, I learned so much about myself and who I am as person. Certain experiences I had while abroad really taught me more about what my values are, and what it takes to make me happy. But I also learned that happiness and positivity are a state of mind; you have to choose it for yourself. That point was really driven hom..."
A student Indiana University - Bloomington
"I learned a lot about myself while abroad. I wish the program would have been longer, was definitely worthwhile. "
A student University of Minnesota - Twin Cities

Vanessa Parsons School of Design
"Yes"
A student University of Colorado - Boulder
"You learn a lot about yourself and whatever class(es) you take. Don't be afraid to try new things."
Madeline SUNY - Albany
"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. I had to learn to budget money, manage things for myself in a foreign country, and branch out and meet new people. It was an experience you would not be able to get elsewhere. "
A student Colgate University
"I gained knowledge from my class, but the experience itself was ultimately average at best."
A student Goucher College
"Learning about different cultures and mindsets outside of the United States helped me to gain perspective of what it meant to be a student within my community. Being exposed to such a different environment not only helped me to view myself in an alternative and novel way but also appreciate the uniqueness of my home. "
Julie Kim Wellesley College
"global wisdom of different cultures"
Ryan McGinnis Philadelphia University
"I learned more about other cultures and grew accustomed to being out of my comfort zone. "

"I learned how confident of an independent traveler I was. I also learned many new design skills because I had never taken those classes before. Completely worthwhile for academics and life skills."
A student Middlebury College
