Summer 2023 Participant
The DIS program is incredible and simple as far as travel abroad goes. The teachers and classes were a blast and they helped give a community even while far away from home. Most of the logistics are handled by DIS which also allows students to focus on their trip and studies instead of worrying about housing or tickets. The only downside of the program is that there is such a good fostering of community with other abroad students that they are most often the people around you rather than locals. There are plenty of opportunities to immerse further if you wish though.

Summer 2022 Participant
The DIS Summer in Scandinavia program is fast-paced, high-quality, and immersive. The professors are experts in their field with experience applying their studies to the real world. The week-long study tours across Europe are unique and incredible opportunities to receive first-hand instructions and apply your learning. It is a great program for students who want to study abroad but do not want to sacrifice a semester of U of U credits.
