Academics Overall

**Overall educational experience:

**Comment:

Most of the teachers were great and the workload was fair. It's pretty much taught like an American University, as opposed to a Danish one (since almost all of the students are American. They also offer interesting, relevant classes (Danish language, Danish politics, etc.)

Language Overall

You can take a semester of Danish. But everybody there speaks English as well as you do.

I got my own apartment in the Osterbro neighborhood.

My housing was amazing, but I got it on my own. I opted out of the program's housing .

Food Overall

**Food satisfaction:

**Comment:

Denmark is very expensive, so I really had to cook every meal for myself in order to afford it. But the grocery stores have plenty of good, cheap things.

Safety and Health Overall

**How well were health issues addressed through your program?

**Safety:

**Comment:

You get free health insurance through the Danish health system, which is wonderful.

Money Overall

**How easily were you able to live on a student's budget?

General Assessment Overall

**Words of wisdom:

Don't do DIS if you want to be in a whole "different world." But if you want to have opportunities to travel, and you want to live in one of the world's most beautiful, livable cities, do go to DIS. It's an excellent program.

**If you could do it all over again, would you choose the same program?

Yes

**Overall satisfaction with your study abroad experience:

**Was your study abroad experience worthwhile?

Living in another country was amazing. Period. I miss it. Copenhagen has so much charm.
