Program Reviews:
Fall 2016 Participant
Denmark is a fairly homogeneous country, and though I expected a large amount of culture shock, it was a pretty easy place to settle in. Danish people are very friendly and helpful, but often keep to themselves unless otherwise necessary.
Fall 2019 Participant
Throughout the semester the program had multiple travel components that allowed me to see different parts of Europe while also still learning about my studies. I went to Sweden and Finland for part of my travels and got to see amazing architectural buildings that I may not have seen other wise.
Katherine A Goddard, Fall 2015 Participant
I would step out of your comfort zone and try to meet Danes while abroad. They can introduce you to their culture and you can make life long friends and connections that live abroad. It was helpful to pick a housing choice that did not just limit my to living with Americans because it gave me the opportunity to meet many new people.
