Study Abroad with DIS - Study Abroad

A student Brandeis University

A student Middlebury College
"I think my time in Sweden taught me the value of independent living, and the importance of work-life balance (which Sweden is notorious for). By the end of the program, I felt very connected to my peers and to living abroad and had a hard time saying goodbye. One thing I wish was that the program put more emphasis on getting to ..."
A student Middlebury College

I learned the basics of a n..."
