Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"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

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 ..."

Megan H Randolph College
"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..."
