Winter Break 2026 Participant
This study abroad program truly pushes students out of their comfort zone, forcing them to step into a new culture. Learning about how things work on the opposite side of the world is very beneficial, especially with architecture. Students need to see how things are done outside of the United States, specifically.

Winter Break 2025 Participant
At the end of our itinerary each day, we got free time so we were able to go out exploring the city ourselves which was a great experience.

Winter Break 2026 Participant
I gained lots of knowledge in this program. I think learning in our courses here at KU is great, but getting to be physically at the buildings, seeing how their systems keep them functioning, that adds a lot of depth to the learning experience.
