Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"DIS gave me exactly what I was looking for in terms of studying in a city and learning from its architecture. I knew that along with that I was going to be lonely and miss home, but I thought the education would be worth it, and it definitely was. "
A student Middlebury College
"I met so many new and different people abroad. I learned to take advantage of every situation, and to be open to trying anything. It was the most amazing and stress-free time of my life, and I will never forget it. "
Jenna J The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to support myself and interact with strangers. You will grow a bunch if you study abroad and will meet some of your best friends."
A student Middlebury College
"Gush I've gained so much from this adventure abroad. But I think I learned the importance of being true to yourself, and accepting your successes, flaws, as well as failures. I have been able to share my personal narrative with the danes and thru this have made some life long friends. The Danes have opened my eyes to the idea of..."
A student Brandeis University
"How to plan and travel alone. "
A student Brandeis University
"Learned more about US culture and language and how the US is perceived. Absolutely worthwhile."
A student Trinity University
"I learned to be more observant and aware of other people and cultures. I made some really great friends from Denmark that I have been in touch with since my return. This was very worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"It was most definitely worthwhile. I learned that there is much to learn about other cultures and its best to learn about these other traditions, and take what you loved and apply it to your own life. I learned how to look at my own traditions, culture, lifestyle, and see what I can improve on. I learned to appreciate traveling ..."
A student Brandeis University
"Studying abroad in Copenhagen made me realize that I am very adaptable and can make a home anywhere. This experience has given me the courage and reassurance to move in the future if desired. I also grew as a person, learned a lot about myself and gained confidence and independence.I really appreciate the progressive and open-mi..."
Cassidy S Brandeis University
"Living in Copenhagen for several months is definitely worthwhile! You learn the meaning of a welfare state, and pick some healthy habits such as biking and walking everywhere and in every weather condition."
A student Brandeis University
"This was the most forming semester I've had. I learned a lot about myself and what is important to me. I know I want to pursue a career in medicine now, so yes, definitely worthwhile. "
Katherine L Brandeis University
"I gained a greater understanding of what I care about and who I am as a person. I feel more confident in my identity and my beliefs after getting to know so many people, and live in a country where the beliefs I am typically surrounded by are absent!"
Arianna P Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself and seeing myself as a student and as a social person. I learned a little bit of balance between the two."
Justin B Brandeis University
"It was worthwhile but there are some things I would have done differently. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much academically--I want to pursue a career in clinical psychology but most of the psychology courses at Brandeis aren't clinically focused, so I really enjoyed my classes at DIS. The learning is hands on and experiential and I felt like I learned more about careers and the "real world" while abroad that at my home..."
Sophie B Brandeis University
"I learned how to take care of myself and how to be more independent. "
Abby K Brandeis University
"The past four months in Denmark have truly exposed me to another culture in addition to allowing me to become more independent as an individual. The first weeks were full of adjustment as I gradually got acclimated to the country and the particular way Danes approached life. Through my experience, I have come to truly appreciate..."

Laura D Saint Michael's College
"It was definitely worth it! I was only supposed to stay a semester but I ended up staying the year."
A student Wellesley College
"Apart from the excellent courses, I learned a lot about myself, which I think is what made it worthwhile. My biggest challenge surprisingly was maintaining a social life, because I didn't meet anyone from my cultural or religious background who enjoyed doing the same things for leisure as me - I don't like to drink and party, wh..."
A student Wellesley College
"I gained experience living in a city environment, and visiting a European country--two things that were very new to me. I also was able to get a glimpse of worldviews other than those shared by Americans."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about myself and a lot about the cultural environment abroad "
A student Wellesley College
"First and foremost, I learned how to be a self-starter. Your study abroad experience--such as how many new people you meet, how many places you travel to, and how much you learn about a new culture--is dependent on how proactive you are. While studying abroad fine-tuned my ability to live independently, I more greatly value my k..."
