A semester abroad - your way

At DIS, study abroad means more than sitting in a classroom in another country. Whether in Stockholm or Copenhagen, the city, the country, and Europe itself, become your classroom.

Travel with your classmates on faculty-led study tours in Europe, make your home in a Scandinavian capital, and discover something new about yourself along the way.

My advice to future students; find your thing and pursue it. It will make you feel connected here to who you are as a person - and the whole point of coming abroad is to explore who you are as a person.
