Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I learned to roll with the punches a little bit more. If a problem arises, especially while abroad you need to stay calm to a certain degree in order. More so rolling with the punches can lead to such amazing and remarkable experiences. If you are able to go with the flow it can lead to an immersive experience you never thought ..."

Adri D Rice University
"Studying abroad for the fall semester was hands-down the best experience of my life! I'm so glad that I chose Copenhagen. As far as European cities go, I would say that it's one of the most under-rated. Which, for a person living there, is pretty great, because you aren't bombarbed with tourists and too much tourism. That having..."
Tiffany L Georgetown University

"I learned that our American "freedoms" have profound effects on other's rights to be accepted and equals in society. One person's right to be different, "better", or an individual, impacts another person's ability to feel adequate as themselves."

A student Brandeis University
"This was the most worthwhile experience of my life! I had never been abroad before nor had I had that level of independence from my family.
