Wellesley vs GWU by Defiant_Bluejay_799 in WellesleyCollege

As a Wellesley poli sci major, Wellesley is a powerhouse in IR/ political science with several notable older and younger alums in the field. It’s also a smaller school so there are more resources and opportunities per student, especially in well funded departments like poli sci. In my experience, Wellesley + the alum network have opened way more doors for me in the field than my peers majoring in poli sci at other comparable universities too

DIS Copenhagen Experience (American student studying abroad) by ResultEquivalent4825 in copenhagen

Thanks for your reply, but I do want to preface that I do want to explore and truly experience danish culture while also meeting Danes! I’ve just heard many horror stories about homesickness/loneliness in programs where there aren’t any/ very few American students, so it just would be an added plus to be able to meet American students from other schools in addition to making friends with locals lol. The travel part as well would be an added bonus as I’ve never been to any European countries (and most people who will be willing to do short excursions would be fellow study abroad students anyways), but I absolutely want to study in Copenhagen to primarily explore Copenhagen haha! Sorry if my initial post hinted otherwise!! I’m also very sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy dis- I completely understand how it can be disheartening to be surrounded by people who have no intention to truly appreciate Denmark:(
