Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad
"I took home something that is impossible to teach in the US a European perspective. I feel I can now look at politics in two ways, from a US standpoint and from a European stand point. I feel that this will help me immensely as I pursue my political science major and makes me a more informed citizen of the world."
Alicia B Wellesley College
"Yes, this program has solidified my decision to become a doctor and increased my cultural awareness. I got to visit eight different countries which was an amazing aspect of the program."
Jane A Wellesley College
"My study abroad was an invaluable experience as I saw how limited our American views really are. It gave me in general a better worldview perspective on people and values. After the program I was fortunate to see even more of Europe and gained a cultural appreciation for the side of the world. At the same time, it made me even m..."
Christof H The University of Texas at Austin

Adam S Providence College
"I could not have asked for a better four months!"
Leah B Providence College
"Absolutely!!!"
Jacqueline C Villanova University
"It was absolutely amazing to travel around Europe and I would suggest the opportunity, however I wish I knew more about what to except in Copenhagen before I choose to studying in the city."
Mary Kate P Villanova University
"Extremely worthwhile. I feel much more mature and confident in my ability to live by myself and take care of myself. Traveling alone was an important growing experience. The program also helped me focus on specific interests in the field of economics"
Kari A Villanova University
"Yes. Much more aware of world events and how the United States is viewed. Best four months of my life (so far!)"
Andrew W Providence College
"Very worthwhile - gave a different perspective on politics, health systems, government, history, and life in general."
Luke S Providence College
"I think I definitely gained an understanding of the many different cultures I came into contact with, and thus gained a better understanding of myself."
Courtney M Providence College
"I learned a lot about the field of design and art from a different, global perspective, and it widened my horizon in terms of the topics that I want to address in my art career."
Christine O Wellesley College
"Yes, I love Denmark, but the program was not very good. Overall, worthwhile"
Dylan C Carleton College
"I definitely think it was worthwhile because I got to see so much of Europe and Scandinavia and I was pushed really far outside of my comfort zone, in terms of interacting with people very different from my friends at home. I also became a lot more independent and learned how to handle stressful situations in much better ways. M..."
Darya R Fordham University
"Yes, very much worthwhile. Studying abroad hasn't changed any of my future plans, but it has increased my learning in public health and health care as a whole. I am much more culturally aware in terms of understanding the way people live and learn."
Lindsey P Providence College

Niamh O Harvard University
"I gained understanding of European culture and i definitely learned a lot about global economics. I would like to work in Europe someday if it works out htat way!"
Eleanor H Wellesley College
"YES! i'm not going to claim it was earth-shattering like other places you could study abroad--in general the standard of living in denmark, and with DIS, is pretty high--but still, it definitely helped me to grow a lot as a person. it also changed my general life perspective--i feel like i look at everything differently now... i..."
L H Wellesley College
"It solidified my interest in going to medical school. "
Leigh L Trinity University
"INCREDIBLY! I would not have gone anywhere else. I loved DIS, but loved Copenhagen and Denmark even more. My studies and surroundings have encouraged me to perhaps try out architecture, and stray from my originally-intended "City Planning". I am finding more meaning in sustainable design, and Nordic strategies."
