Fall 2024 Participant
Having studied abroad in Copenhagen, I absolutely loved integrating myself into the local culture. I found living in a Kollegium, renting a bicycle, and learning the ins and outs of the city were some of the best decisions I could make for myself as they provided the best opportunities to meet locals, live like a local, and experience the city.

Fall 2024 Participant
DIS is a program that puts you together with American students from other universities, and may not be your typical exchange program. It's more like an American University in Denmark. All classes are taught in English and all of your classmates are other Americans. Make sure to keep this in mind when choosing the right program for you.

Fall 2023 Participant
I think the most rewarding part of this experience was realizing that what I was learning in the classroom was reflected outside in the city. I took classes on the history of the city and was able to walk through the streets and point out if a given building was built in the 1700s or if it was newer and based on an old style just by looking at it and recognizing architectural features.
