Program Reviews:
Patrick M Sawyer, Academic Year 2018 Participant
One of the most rewarding element of the program was the cultural experience. I absolutely loved my housing (rented room), living in an apartment in the city centre with two other Danes, biking everyday. frequent visits to my neighborhood bakery, it felt as if I was just living in Copenhagen and doing everyday normal life. I also really enjoyed meeting other Danish people, immersing myself in the culture, spending time with my roommates, their families, new foreign friends, and new friends from my program. I think the most rewarding element was what I gained from this experience, this opened my eyes to a new global perspective and gave me a lot of courage to do things on my own. Being abroad can be scary but I think this experience was very helpful in making me grow as an individual.

Katherine A Goddard, Fall 2015 Participant
The professors at DIS are mostly Danish, so it was rewarding to be taught by professionals who grew up in another culture. We were encouraged to broaden our thinking while completing assignments, and try to do things that we would normally not be able to do at our university back in the United States.

Summer 2018 Participant
The complete design and production of a chair was especially rewarding, as we were able to realize and practice in real life many of the design techniques and traditions that we learned about in class. The study tour was also very influential because we got to see construction, application, and real life examples of many of the items we learned about in class. It was also a helpful study of proportion and joinery techniques.
