DIS Copenhagen: Semester
What did you gain/learn from your experience abroad? Was it worthwhile?
I gained more independence while abroad. I would study abroad again as it made me appreciate my home university while also giving me a chance to recharge.

A Look Back
| * What did you like most about the program? |
|
| * What could be improved? |
|
| * What do you know now that you wish you knew before going on this program? | This program is a great at giving you time to travel, but the academics are lacking. I would recommend taking one of their art courses and signing up for a visiting host family (if you’re not living with one). That’s was the only true interaction I had with any Danish culture |
