Review Your Program

* Overall educational experience

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

This program was really amazing. If you choose a core course that aligns with your interests you will have the opportunity to travels to various locations across Denmark/Europe and have educational experiences related to the specific field. I learned a lot in and out of class. Each class also has field study days where you will have learning experiences outside of the classroom, and your class will head to somewhere in the city.

* Host Country Program Administration

On-site administration of your program

Copenhagen, DK is the best home base.

I lived in a Kollegium and those are very common and popular among students.

Danes seem to keep to themselves but are friendly and welcoming.

Free healthcare everyone!

The best and safest city. The public transportation is also safe, even late at nights.
