What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?

Copenhagen is a beautiful place, with beautiful people. Everyone was so welcoming. The best part was the people I met. The people I experienced changed my life. Get out of the box and go!

Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.	All of the classes are taught in English, however the professor and I were the only 2 native English speakers! Interesting to travel so far, and to be the comfortable one in class. The Danes have a strict grading system! However the classrooms and facilities were the nicest I've seen. Very valuable.
* Host Country Program Administration On-site administration of your program	I never once felt lost. They had a designated office for international students, and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Never had a problem!
* Housing: How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?	My housing was a bit dirty, but it forced me to get out of my room! Loved the fact that I lived with kids all over the world. Where I lived, is how I made friends. I still keep in touch with a couple of them!
* Food:	I'm not very picky, and I had a hard time enjoying the food. But, who needs food when there is so much beer available???
* Social & Cultural Integration: How integrated did you feel with the local culture?	The people I made contacts with made my whole experience. Open up and meet everyone! You will run into some fascinating people.
* Health Care: How well were health issues addressed during the program?
* Safety:	I could run at midnight outside and I never once felt threatened. Very, very safe area.
If you could do it all over again would you choose the same program?	Yes

Finances

* Money: How easily were you able to live on a student's budget? (1 = not very easy/$200+ on food & personal expenses/week, 2.5 = $100/week, 5 = very easily/minimal cost)
