Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"This past semester at DIS was a truly life-changing experience for me. I learned a lot about myself and the world. DIS stresses the point that the best experiences will happen outside of your comfort some, and they could not have been more right. I was challenged in so many ways, but had the time of my life through it all."
A student Wellesley College
"It would do this program a hundred times again. During my stay in Copenhagen, I was able to travel with friends to Sweden, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Holland, Finland!, Portugal, and Belgium. I learned more about Europe, living in a welfare state, architecture, and making foreign friends for a lifetime than I could have ever..."
A student Middlebury College
"I learned how to cook for myself. Actually learned a lot about Renewable and Sustainable Energy, which is really cool. Wouldn't say it was as worthwhile as it would have been if I had been in a foreign language program or in a completely different type of society."
A student Middlebury College
"I'm definitely more independent and open to new experiences. It was definitely worthwhile!"
Holly G Providence College
"I learned a lot about the Danish culture and gained so many amazing friendships from other DIS students. It was more than worthwhile, and I will definitely miss Denmark more than I ever could imagine."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"I learnt the cultures of the local people by spending time with them during buddy network events and visiting family time. It was a really valuable experience."
A student Wellesley College
"- Appreciation for how different we all are, and why, but how we are still so similar and can connect despite our differences (: - Aspects of the Danish lifestyle/mentality that make it so different from the US"
A student Wellesley College
"I saw so much of Europe and the number one thing I wanted to do when I was there was travel. It was definitely worthwhile and I'll never forget it!"
A student Middlebury College
"Ya. I never want to live in Copenhagen. It was ok. "
Eman W M Wellesley College
"Everyone should study abroad if they can. By experiencing another culture you gain the tools and alternative perspective to re-evaluate your own culture. I feel like I could hold an intelligent conversation with your average Dane about Danish Politics and Society, in addition to the other subjects I studied. And the traveling pr..."
Carl O Villanova University
"Travel know-how, survival/ cultural adaptive skills, money-saving skills"
Wanyoung K Purdue University
"Very worthwhile, I became more cultural and worldly and open to new experiences and ways of life."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"Yes, very worthwhile! Denmark is different in a good way. It took awhile for this to sink in. DIS study experience is more a keystone realization of another, valid world of ideas, values and people."
retiredog University of North Carolina - Charlotte
"This is a tough one to sum up, but here it goes. I learned a lot about myself and who I want to be as a grown responsible member of society. I also learned that America isn't the only cool place on Earth, and other people live very different lives but are still very happy. To me Denmark is the utopia I wish we could have here..."
A student Villanova University
"Able to travel alone, meet new people, test myself in new situations, be mature and responsible."
A student Providence College
"I learned that "the happiest people on earth" is a hilarious facade maintained by Denmark to ensure that their tourism industry thrives. I understand now why the Nordic countries have such a high suicide rate."
A student Providence College
"I gained a more well rounded / international perspective about the way people see the world. Also, I now better understand the cultures differences between the attitudes of Americans versus Danes."
A student Tulane University
"I learned so much about a culture with which I had previously been extemely unfamiliar. I felt so immersed in the culture by the end of my study abroad experience. All of the traveling that you do as a part of your program gave me the knowledge and confidence to do independent travel after the program. Copenhagen is an incred..."
A student University of Rochester
"Every moment was worth it. It is incredible to think of my time living in Copenhagen, experiencing the culture, meeting new people, and adapting to the European way of life. I gained travel experience, confidence, appreciation for the simple things, new friendships, a brighter outlook on the future and over all I think I reall..."
A student The University of Texas at Austin
"There's no way I could describe all the things I gained/learned from my experience in Copenhagen in this one tiny box. It was absolutely worthwhile and I would do it again in a heartbeat. "
A student Tulane University
"I learned a lot of about my own culture, Europe, and a lot about myself. I even fell in love! It was an amazing experience, and I wish I could've stayed longer! "
A student Tulane University
"Gained insight into myself, gained friends for life, and learned about other cultures more than even just Denmark. VERY WORTHWHILE! "
A student Austin College
"I was able to have more hands on a practical experience in my field that I ever would at an American college. There was a great variety of classes."
A student Villanova University
"I gained so much confidence when I went abroad. I traveled for the most part on my own and decided to make it a semester of me. I did what I wanted, went where I wanted to go and explored whenever I felt like it. I returned to the US knowing myself better and with a greater understanding of what I wanted to do with my education ..."
