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

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.
