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..."

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."

"I've become much more global and open-minded. I have friends in different parts of the country and overseas. I have much more confidence than I once had, and also am more critical of the choices my country makes and how it operates. Yet, being away for so long has also increased my nationalism. I now have a second home in Copenh..."
