Fall 2015 Participant
I loved living in the Arts and Culture Living and Learning community. The events and activities we participated in allowed me to experience the underground arts culture in Copenhagen and broadened my understanding of what art is and can be. It challenged me and pushed me to be more open minded.

Fall 2015 Participant
Studying abroad is an invaluable experience that can be scary and sometimes uncomfortable, but it is the best thing you could ever do. Take the leap. My semester abroad was the best four months of my life. Be open-minded, be spontaneous, and do what interests you. Take study abroad as an opportunity to get to know yourself and explore your interests.

Patrick M Sawyer, Academic Year 2018 Participant
I think that the biggest thing I quickly learned is that it is ok to ask for help! Being half way across the world can be daunting but there is a very large support system for you both in Denmark and back home at KU. Don't hesisitate to reach out to the student information desk if you have any questions or if you're overwhelmed with the metro system. Coming into study abroad, there are a lot of unknowns, which is exciting but also terrifying, knowing that there is a large support system of people in Copenhagen and also back in the states makes it seem a little less daunting. Never be afraid to ask for help, you may learn something you didn't expect to!
