great program, help you integrate into the Danish culture with ease, amazing facilities, beautiful city. |

| * Food: |
very, very, very expensive to eat out, so shopping at the local grocery store was how I ate 99% of the time. |

DIS hosts many social and cultural events throughout the semester that it's hard to pick which ones to attend. |

extremely safe city to live in, very easy for girls to walk home alone in the early morning hours and still feel safe. |
