Program Reviews:
Fall 2015 Participant
My favorite part of the program was making connections with the people I work with. Sometimes while living abroad, it is hard to make local friends. Working is a great opportunity to get to know local people, and also a great way to learn how different cultures treat the same profession.

Fall 2015 Participant
I felt a gained a great deal of work experience at my firm. I was given the opportunity to fill a variety of roles in the firm, which at times was very intimidating, but ended up pushing me in a very productive way. I feel like a much better designer after my experience.

Fall 2015 Participant
I most enjoyed living and working in Paris and getting a very immersive experience.
