Program Reviews:
Spring 2024 Participant
The most rewarding elements of the program were seeing the responses from professors and the professionals that we worked with, despite being from a different country and having a language barrier.

Spring 2024 Participant
The walkable city and the small community of the design program was so welcoming to me! The timeline of projects was much more leisurely in Trier than here at KU, so I was able to put the effort that I wanted to put in on my projects and even come up with my own projects! This really allowed me to explore components of design I haven't otherwise had time to explore here. The few longterm projects (instead of the many short term projects that we do here in KU VISCOM) also gave me and my friends time to explore and travel Europe between classes. The work life balance was very different from here, and it was very refreshing to be able to spend my free time doing things that made me happy like exploring the city, meeting up with new friends and traveling.

Spring 2024 Participant
What I would tell new students is be adventurous. Say yes to everything! Take full advantage of being in a new country and learn as much as possible about the culture as you can!
