I had a fantastic experience studying at DIS and living in Copenhagen with a phenomenal host family. I studied child development while being immersed in to the culture of childhood in Scandinavia with work in a preschool and field experiences around Europe. I left with a home in Denmark.

DIS offered an amazing Danish experience! Offering numerous living situations, I lived in a home stay and was able to get to know the culture well. The program also took my core course, child development to Tallinn, Estonia and Stockholm, Sweden. DIS caters to every part of a great abroad experience.
