Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I gained independence and a more cultured view. I could not have gained that while staying at home."
A student Middlebury College
"You can make friends ANYWHERE. There are wonderful people all over the world. You just have to be warm and open and don't let fear hold you back from meeting people and making friends in a different culture. You also learn so much about your study abroad country from making friends with local people. Go forth, and make friends..."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned to be more independent, and it was nice to see the "real world", unlike at Brandeis. I do think it was worthwhile, just not on an academic level. "
A student Brandeis University
"I adopted several Danish values and gained several very close friends whom I intend to remain in contact with for the rest of my life. It was very worthwhile- even for someone who isn't fond of traveling."
John K Trinity University
"Everything. It was amazing."
Macy C University of Redlands
"I learned that I should be grateful for the opportunities I have had education-wise, because clearly many other American students are not nearly as well-informed as me. I know this sounds elitist of me, but when someone, for example, asks if Margaret Thatcher was an actress (and believe me, comments like that were very common in..."

"travelling is a bout putting yourself out there and not being afraid to stretch yourself"
A student Trinity University
"I gained confidence about living on my own, and learned a lot about the Danish and Netherlands culture and how it differs from my own. It was definitely worthwhile and awesome. While 6 weeks wasn't very long and I wish I had time to do some other things, it was a good length of time and allowed time for me to travel to other cit..."
A student Trinity University
"I learned how vastly different the philosophies of different countries can be in terms of government and social classes."
Hannah C Trinity University
"If I could do it all over again, I would choose DIS in a heartbeat! I am considering interning there after graduation because i've enjoyed the way they teach there so much and how they choose to see and portray the world in classes. I studied the most abstract courses while there, but was taught how to actually apply what I wa..."
Lindsey B Trinity University
"I learned how to be more independent. I learned about different healthcare systems and cultures. And yes, it was worthwhile."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned more about myself and my capabilities. I have more confidence in myself in all situations."
A student Providence College
"I realized how important making international relations is and how beneficial it is to learn from the successes and failures of other people/countries. I came away from my study abroad experience as a more well rounded and independent person. I came away from Copenhagen sure that I would be back some day in the near future. "
Amanda S Providence College
"Best experience in college by far. Would recommend it to anyone. You learn so much about yourself through living outside of your comfort zone in another country by means of the different culture and the people you meet. Irreplaceable experience. I would recommend someone looking to study abroad to avoid doing a Villanova program..."
A student Villanova University
"I really loved going abroad because I went on my own and I was able to become more involved with other people and immerse myself in the culture. I was also able to meet other awesome people from other parts of the US that I have kept in touch with after I came back."
Zarina M The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned how to live on my own with other American students. Because it was an American program, I got to know other Americans and learn about the Danish culture with them. Unfortunately I did not have a chance to meet that many other Danish people because of the program itself. I only picked this program because I've always wa..."
swallowed.in.the.sea7 The University of Texas at Austin
"I learned a lot about my myself, how to be independent, how to be happy and how to enjoy life."
conner.adams.71 Providence College
"I learned that the American way is not always the right way - that there are some areas that America really needs to improve on that other countries are doing really well. It was definitely worthwhile to realize that there are cultures where you can leave your baby out on the sidewalk while you shop inside a store and you don't ..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Learned that many places and societies function VERY differently from the United States, sometimes in better ways, sometimes in worse ways. It was very worthwhile to get this exposure, and I would definitely do it over if I could. "
A student Middlebury College
"This was one of the most difficult semester of my life, and yet it was also one of the absolute best!!! Going abroad has been one of the best decisions I have ever made!"
A student Providence College
"Very worthwhile, learned independence and about Denmark"
A student Villanova University
"Too much to write in this tiny box. It was incredible and I'm still speechless about it. Go experience it for yourself. "
Olivia T The University of Texas at Austin
"International context"
A student Brandeis University
"I gained invaluable travel experience and learned vastly about numerous European cities and countries."
