Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I learned about myself more than I ever could have imagined. "
A student Loyola University Maryland
"It was completely worthwhile, I not only learned about myself but learned about other functions of cities, what works and what doesn't work. How Europe operates. I learned about myself personally, gained experience from traveling, gained knowledge through adventurers and real life experiences rather than just in the classroom. "
A student Tulane University
"My favorite part of this program was the travel breaks. I went on DIS study tours for two of the three travel breaks, and both of those trips were perfectly organized and very fun. I learned how to live on my own with this program, and I learned a lot about all of Europe, not just Denmark."
Kendra C Wellesley College

A student Georgetown University

A student Tulane University
"Independence, self-confidence, appreciation for other cultures"
Sarah M Wellesley College
"I spent a lot of the semester self-reflecting, which I think was the most valuable part of the experience. I for the most part enjoyed my classes and my American classmates, and the Danes that I interacted with. "
A student Scripps College
"So many things. I learned what it felt like to be thrown into completely new situations and cultures and languages and experience things openly and head-on. I learned how to communicate without language, and see things from a trans-linguistic point of view. I saw how different places and people felt the impact of terrorism and c..."
Kate P Bryn Mawr College
"I learned how to be on my own, be confident in myself, and figure everything else out as it came along. "

A student Yale University
"I learned a lot about myself by being abroad. Though I'd been to Europe before, living here was a different experience.

Traveling was definitely a highlight and I got to go to Sweden, Russia, Czech Republic, Scotland, Austria, Hungary, and..."
Kelly C Wellesley College
"Besides some academic components related to my field of study (economics and urban planning), living with a large family taught me the importance of tolerance and patience. Through these realizations, I feel that I've found a second family in Denmark that I will keep in touch with in the future. "
A student Macalester College
"I learned so much about myself as I was able to have experiences and be able to form my own opinions. I became even more independent, and with the incredible public transportation system, I had the freedom to go where I wanted to, when I wanted to, and with whom I wanted to. I learned how to have a better work/life balance, beca..."
A student Scripps College
"My experience abroad was the best four months of my life. I woke up every day excited to go and explore Copenhagen and ready to try new things. There were times that living in Denmark pushed me outside of my comfort zone, but moving to Copenhagen was a comfortable and welcoming experience. Study abroad was absolutely worthwhile ..."
