"Everything... I'm a completely different person and I don't think any person would argue with that. I appreciate life, love, friendships, family, everything so much more than ever before. It truly made me look at my life and where my future is headed in a new light."
Megan H Philadelphia University
"I learned so many things inside and outside the classroom. My core course in Medical Practice and Policy confirmed my decision to pursue medicine as a career. I learned how to navigate a city and public transportation by myself, as well as, branching out and meeting a variety of other students. The experience was something I ..."
A student University of North Dakota
"Independence, comfort living in a foreign culture (not just traveling, but really living), a solid understanding of my future career path through the classes I took, some of my best friends, and a Danish family for life!"
erika.meyer.338 Pacific Lutheran University
"I learned a lot about what I wanted out of life and how I fit into the world. I am now on a completely different path than I was before I studied abroad, and I owe part of that to my experience at DIS. It definitely taught me some very worthwhile life lessons."
A student Macalester College
"Where to start... Independence, how to work in a group setting, how to conduct research, how to travel/navigating a European city, European perspective on business, politics, history, interviewing skills, time management, etc. Worthwhile - uh, for sure"
Ben M DePauw University
"Living in Copenhagen is entirely different from living here. I miss walking or taking trains/buses everywhere and seeing the people everywhere. I learned so much from my core course (Human Health and Disease) and other courses, and was able to travel more regularly than I ever dreamed possible. I wish I could go back"
Michelle M University of California - San Diego
"Studying at DIS was definitely a life-changing experience! The effects of my time at DIS have been long lasting. I would like to think I am a braver, bolder, more independent person after spending a semester abroad in Copenhagen. And while any semester abroad is an eye-opening way to experience the world, a semester at DIS co..."
Kristin F Whittier College
"Going to DIS really changed my life! I realized how much I flourished being in an international environment and even decided to change my original career path to one in international education. There is just something about this program and the city of Copenhagen that you can't find anywhere else. It truly is a magical place and..."
Kelli A Elon University
"I got to see Germany, Sweden, Austra, England and Russia during my time with DIS, all while feeling really connected to Copenhagen itself. It was exactly what I wanted."

ebcalley The College of William and Mary
"Studying in Denmark was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have become a more confidence and independent individual. I made great friends that I know I will keep in touch with. I also gained an appreciation for different cultures. "
A student Providence College
"I definitely grew in confidence of who I am.. I learned to be independent and more confident in my choices. Europe is a whole new place and I think studying abroad is a very eye opening experience to see that there is more out there. Very great people who all speak English and are willing to help you if you need it."
Jaimie T Kansas State University
"I've been taught cultural differences and stuff over the years, but you don't really get a good understanding and grasp of what these differences might really feel like until you spend plenty of time in another culture seeing all the similarities and differences. I've also really enjoyed learning the history of another country a..."
Hannah R Kansas State University
"Yes! It was nice to get to know a different culture, and Copenhagen was an awesome city."
Jillian P Tulane University
"I had never been outside of the country before going to Denmark. I treated my stay there as a gateway into other EU countries and one non-EU country, Russia. I experienced incredible cultures and customs. I still plan on going to medical school, but the introduction to the medical field that I received from DIS will be very bene..."
Richard B Grinnell College
"The most important quality I gained in Denmark is open-mindedness. I learned to be more receptive to a foreign culture, as opposed to sticking to my comfort zone. "
Damir K Carleton College

It provided a good break from the stressful environment at Wellesley and gave me a good perspective moving forward. I also value my travel experience in Europe very much. Opened my eyes to a lot of things and will serve as a source of inspira..."
