**Housing satisfaction:

**Comment:

I lived in Grudtvigs Hojskole- a traditional Danish school in which students live and learn for short amounts of time after Gymnasium.

I didn't attend class there, but lived in a single room there and attended breakfasts and dinners with Danish (and international) students. The living arrangement was a great in that it also included a variety of social activities such as weekend theme parties. The downside of the living situation was the hour
+ commute.

Food Overall

**Food satisfaction:

**Comment:

I wasn't given a food stipend as meals were provided to me, but I rarely got the meals due to the long commute in combination with my more intense academic program.

Money Overall

General Assessment Overall

**Words of wisdom:

Bring $$$$$. But seriously, I strongly recommend the program to any architecture/design students. The program is very strong, well organized, and staffed by incredibly talented faculty. I learned a lot through the studio course I took.

**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?

Yes. I really grasped the cultural differences that lay beneath the surface.
