Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"It's hard to sum up in a tiny box what I learned from my experience abroad because I honestly learned more than words could say. Living with a Danish host family was the highlight of my experience. They taught me so much about not only their culture, but also about my own culture and background. My host family welcomed me with o..."

"A certainty that I have the competence to respond to whatever arises. Yes."
Kate E Middlebury College
"Studying abroad in Copenhagen was amazing. Copenhagen really is the best city--everyone who goes loves it. I would not change a thing. You gain whole new cultural lens. Living in a socialist state gives you a new outlook on the world. It's all invaluable; I loved it."
A student Middlebury College
"I gained a laid-back, Danish perspective. It was definitely worthwhile."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned more about what I want from my life. I grew in independence and in world experience. Most people are inherently good, nothing teaches that like having to ask a million people for directions."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned to be less shy and more outgoing. I learned that while it is very important to do well in school, it is also important to create hobbies and make friends with people who share the same interests. I learned to travel and be financially responsible for myself. "

"The short version is that, yes, it was definitely worthwhile! I loved my weekly practicum at a local school in classrooms of 6th and 9th graders. Since that particular school was one in an area heavily populated by non-ethnically Danish people (i.e. families with origins in such places as Turkey and Pakistan), I had a really..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned so much more about the world and culture than I thought would be imaginable. I grew as a person as well, meaning I now have more self-confidence and comfort with my own self. "
Elizabeth C Brandeis University
"I learned more about what I want out of life and how to achieve that balance."
Jennifer C Brandeis University
"I gained a greater sense of independence and adapting skills. It was definitely worth it."
Julia D Brandeis University
"Best experience of my college career"
A student Brandeis University
"My time abroad in Denmark taught me a lot about what I'm capable of, instilling in me a new self-awareness and confidence. I learned a lot about Scandinavian/European culture and politics, giving me insight as to how the supposedly "happiest" people in the world live, clarifying the wonderful and problematic things about my own ..."

"Cultural understanding, learned about myself. YES"
A student Brandeis University
"Cultural immersion in Europe"
A student Brandeis University
"From an environmental studies major, I learned an incredible amount living in one of the greenest cities in the world for just a semester. Not only in classes, but even in daily life. It was very worthwhile to live like a Dane because they really know what they are doing to protect the environment in Denmark! "
A student Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile."
Tiffany B Brandeis University
"I learned a lot by traveling independently and living somewhere where English wasn't the first language. I loved my experience and made some lifelong friends but, personally, I don't know if it was as much of an immersion experience as I wanted. Denmark is safe, trendy, progressive and fascinating but in my opinion, it was a saf..."
Emma K Fort Lewis College
"I feel rewarded by the challenges of living independently and immersing myself in a foreign culture. Copenhagen is a unique and beautiful place, and its people are culture are equally so. I will forever remember my home in Cope and the incredible things I learned there. "
A student Middlebury College
"independence and access to a city, learning from a society that functions extremely well; very worthwhile"
Madeleine L Middlebury College
"Scandinavia is an amazing place. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned a lot about myself in Denmark. My eyes were opened to new career paths and academic interests. It changed my outlook on what I wanted to do and what I thought I needed to do."
A student Wellesley College
"I learned a lot about European culture, and I gained a greater appreciation for my own culture and values. I was able to be very independent and grew in confidence because of that. I also formed friendships with other international students studying in Copenhagen."
A student Trinity University
"I became more independent. I couldn't always rely on others. I made it a point to step out of my comfort zone and I made great friends and have amazing experiences because of it. I highly highly recommend DIS for studying abroad! "
A student Barnard College
"I learned how to interact with other culture different from mine. Also, I learned how to utilize public transportation by myself (I'm from Texas, so this was a big deal). This experience made me more independent, self-reliant, and confident. I wouldn't change a thing about my experience and absolutely think it was worthwhile. I ..."
