One of the most important things I learned is that you get out of the program what you put into it. It is important to go in with clear goals, be open to new experiences, and actively engage with the people you meet. Asking questions, being curious, and reflecting on what you learn each day can significantly enhance the experience. I also learned that you do not need to have everything figured out beforehand. The program is a great opportunity to explore different interests and perspectives.

The hybrid portion of this course was very helpful in balancing other schoolwork, and I appreciated the couple in-person meetings we had, where I got to know my fellow classmates. I also enjoyed the amount of free time we had during the trip. I got to almost completely customize my trip to my interests while forming close relationships with the other students.

My favorite part of the program was the opportunity to interact directly with professionals in real-world settings. Being able to visit companies, ask questions, and observe how people work in an international environment made the experience much more meaningful than learning in a classroom alone. I especially appreciated hearing about different career paths and how individuals built their experiences across countries. It helped me see how global perspectives can shape professional growth in a very practical way.
