Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"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 ..."
Jennifer E Trinity University
"DO IT! IT IS SO WORTH IT "
Lindsey A Middlebury College
"Learned that life is expensive. Gained knowledge about how to be more independent. Worthwhile, but still very expensive. "
A student Middlebury College
"I learned so much... it's hard to explain briefly. I learned a lot about traveling, living independently, navigating new cities and cultures, and immersing myself in ways and places I am interested in. I loved this experience and would recommend studying abroad to anyone even slightly interested."
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself, but more about the Danish culture and European economy. Very worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"A larger cultural perspective and independence. It was definitely worthwhile."
Devon N Middlebury College
"worthwhile, grew up a lot and learned about self"
Sophie M Brandeis University
"Knowledge in healthcare and how to travel to foreign cities and survive. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was absolutely worth it, but the lack of immersion in my program made it hard to really feel part of the Danish culture. "
A student Brandeis University
"I loved traveling and learning about other cultures, so it was definitely worthwhile."
A student Brandeis University
"I gained independence, confidence, and responsibility. "
A student Middlebury College
"It was great to get to really become a part of a new family, and learn a different method of living. "
Douglas S Middlebury College
"I learned how to adapt quickly to living and learning in a city that was so different from where I'd grown up. I absolutely fell in love with the people, the city and the work that I did there, and I would go back in a heartbeat! The academic environment was full of wonderful discussions, the friends I made were warm and inviti..."
A student Wellesley College
"The best way to benefit from studying abroad for me was to let go of expectations and allow myself to become present, aware, and accepting of new experiences, people, and cultures as I traveled and began to understand many in many new contexts. My outcome was very different from my goals, and that has taught me a lot. Definitely..."
jessica m Tulane University
"Academically, my time abroad shed light on interests I would like to pursue in the future by providing me with real world and hands on experiences. My view on many aspects of life were broadened and I am now more of a global thinker, being able to analyze and appreciate different cultures. "
Beatriz L Brandeis University
"That the world is much more available to us than we believe."
D'Andre Y Brandeis University
"I gained independence and maturity. It was definitely worthwhile"
Margaret B Middlebury College
"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
