One of the most influential experiences!

The CIEE Open Campus Block in Copenhagen, Denmark program has been one of the most influential experiences! It builds independence, communication skills, helps you understand your priorities and builds so much global competence.

10/10 100% would do it all over again

I seriously had the best time studying abroad with CIEE in Copenhagen, Denmark. Copenhagen is one of the most wholesome and coziest cities I have ever been to. I always felt so safe and comfortable there, everyone in Copenhagen was so nice and welcoming. The other students on my program were so fun and sweet and it was so nice to build connections with other American students. I would say if you are doing the open campus program, Copenhagen should definitely be one of your cities to study in. This place taught me so much and a lot of self growth was done here. There is a lot to learn from the Danish. CIEE was a great company to study abroad with. They really make sure that you're situated and that you're good. They also aren't afraid to challenge your independence which I really appreciated.

CIEE Copenhagen is the best

Out of all the places I've been with CIEE, Copenhagen has the best staff. The city was fantastic, and as practically everyone there knows English, it was really simple to interact and communicate with people. Additionally, the Copenhagen crew put up a number of methods for you to interact with locals. Dinner with a host family was one of the things I did. One of my favorite travel-related experiences was this. Additionally, the personnel had excellent teachers and housing possibilities. My favorite spot among the three blocks I completed was this one. Additionally, they did a fantastic job matching you with your housemates.

The staff is incredible. They are always there to answer all questions, comments, and concerns I have and I always feel as though I am a priority to them. Copenhagen is a wonderful place with an abundance of cultural experiences to take part in. Classes are challenging, yet stimulating and honestly exciting.

The billing process was absolutely…

The billing process was absolutely absurd. The financial aid deferral form was due before my school even put out packages, so I kept getting emails telling me that I could potentially not attend my program, racking up $200 dollar fines. It was finally released, and I had to find someone at my school to fill it out, which took a while, and finally got it in- but a scholarship that I had was not applied yet because the deadline is SO early. So, I had to go BACK and find someone to fill out a NEW form to add this scholarship. Overall this could have easily been avoided and easily streamlined if you stayed in contact with the universities. It was really stressful and a ridiculous process that didn't need to be that way. I could have easily just sent you a screenshot of my package.

The organization is somewhat unorganised so it puts a lot of stress on the students. The Copenhagen campus was amazing and I love the staff but they were restricted from doing things or being able to work with us due to outdated and overly general rules from CIEE.
