Molly McMahon University of Wisconsin - Madison
"I learned that Danes are not friendly, close minded, conservative with respect to people of other races, and overly concerned with immigrants, particularly Muslim immigrants. It was worthwhile in that it opened my eyes to racism and Islamaphobia. "
Christopher Wallace Hamilton College

"The amount of travel I was able to do was incomparable."
A student Bucknell University
"I learned a lot about the universal welfare state and how growing up in a place where you don't have to worry so much about healthcare, violence, rights, poverty, etc. influences the culture.
