Off-Campus Study at Colby College

Considering a future term with DIS? Join us for an info session. DIS will have staff and student voices from Copenhagen, Stockholm, and the U.S. They’ll share things you should be thinking about as you shape your study abroad future, and you will have the opportunity to ask them questions.

These info sessions are intended for students who are in the application process; accepted students will be a part of virtual orientations in the months leading up to their DIS term, where information is more catered to enrolled students. You can also always sign up for DIS one-on-one advising.
