Summer 2022 Participant
In architecture classes often the building is digital or reduced to a scale model but in the furniture design course I was able to design a chair, build it, and then sit in it. This was extremely rewarding.

Fall 2023 Participant
I think the most rewarding part of this experience was realizing that what I was learning in the classroom was reflected outside in the city. I took classes on the history of the city and was able to walk through the streets and point out if a given building was built in the 1700s or if it was newer and based on an old style just by looking at it and recognizing architectural features.

Fall 2023 Participant
I've read online about how isolated the U.S. is from the rest of the world. It's huge and culturally expansive, and most people here don't have the opportunity to travel outside. But it's impossible to really understand how different parts of the world function until you experience them. Being exposed to Danish life and living in a European city made me realize what's missing from my life back home and has given me new ideas and goals to strive towards. The experiences I've had couldn't have happened in the U.S. and I had no idea that living like this was an option.
