Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I learned how to be really independent. I figured out that sometimes it's ok to be alone because hanging out with yourself is actually really awesome. You figure out what makes you happy and the people you want to surround yourself with. It's really valuable to figure out who you are, so yes, that was definitely worthwhile. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned a lot about myself. I gained a lot of confidence. I was really on my own for the first time, which allowed to tackle challenges on my own"
Ali K Brandeis University
"I gained understanding of what it means to live on your own in the real world and not pampered on a campus, what it means to budget your money and how it feels to not have any money. I learned how to make new friends when they come from very different places and not fall into the same old routine."
A student Middlebury College
"It was absolutely worthwhile. I learned a lot about Danish culture and made some great friends while I was at it. I was also able to travel within Europe so it was really cool to see other cities and learn about the culture and meet people in those other cities as well."
A student Providence College
"I had to realize that I would learn things outside of the classroom, as the classes themselves were not interesting. "
Anna S Barnard College
"My study abroad experience was definitely worthwhile! DIS was a well rounded program incorporating travel, culture, and hands on experience both in and outside of the classroom. I learned to get out of my comfort zone and to challenge "
Joanna G Wellesley College
"I gained a new love for the Danish culture and traveling in Europe. I learned to get out of my comfort zone and independence. It was the most worthwhile experience I have ever experienced. "
Danielle M Brandeis University
"A newfound love for traveling. It was completely worthwile"
A student Providence College
"I gained independence. Going to a small college with very helpful professors and having such a close and supportive family really did not allow me to feel and kind of independence when I went to college. Traveling to a foreign country allowed me to really grow up and learn from people different from myself. I also loved my exper..."
Lauren T Trinity University
"I learned more about being independent and more about other cultures; it was very worthwhile."
A student Providence College
"I gained independence and assimilation skills in that I learned how to adapt into a new culture. I consider it very worthwhile because I learned how to live on my own and improved my skills of meeting new people."
Brett J Providence College
"How to live and travel independently, about other cultures. One-hundred percent worthwhile!"
Eliza Z Providence College
"Wow, this is such a large question! It was absolutely worthwhile. I think one of the most important things I gained I was independence. I thought of myself already as an independent person before, however traveling by myself really taught me a lot about my own personality and who I am as a person. It also showed me how similar a..."
Lisa G Brandeis University
"It was definitely worthwhile. I got to travel a ton and meet great people, but I also learned that this probably wasn't the best program for me. "
A student Brandeis University
"learned more about the world, cross-cultural communication and life experiences"
A student University of Hartford
"I became a lot more independent, had great cross-cultural experiences, and really learned a lot about local culture! It was absolutely worthwhile and I would do it again in a second."
A student University of Maryland - College Park
"I learned so much about myself, but a lot of it can't be put into words. I feel so much more independent and self-reliant. I also came to question a lot of the values and habits that I took for granted in the US. I'll be approaching my chosen field, environmental sustainability, from a completely new perspective now. I'm so much..."
A student George Washington University

Jenny C Brandeis University
"Definitely worthwhile. I learned to be much more independent and confident. "
A student Brandeis University
"I learned how to be more independent, and I got the chance to experience many different cultures while abroad. Denmark is such a great place to live and I know that I will be back. After speaking to some of my friends about their abroad programs, I've found that DIS is by far the most organized and comprehensive program. The stu..."
A student Brandeis University
"If you have the chance to go abroad, DO IT! I learned a lot about myself and what my previous experiences had prepared me for and what I wasn't prepared for. I think that there are probably a lot of things I've learned from this experience that I don't even realize yet."
Yael M Brandeis University
"This program was unbelievably worthwhile. I had a wonderful time. As cheesy as it sounds I really discovered who I was once I left the US and had to take care of myself."
Maria L Tufts University
"Maybe, I learned a lot being abroad, but I feel that it made me fall behind on my goals back home. The best part of being abroad though was my internship, I would recommend that everyone does an internship while they're abroad!"
Leslie S Wellesley College
