"I had the most amazing time during my study abroad. I acquired an education that can never be taught inside a classroom. I learned much more than just about architecture and my required courses of study, I learned about people and society, about music and food, arts and culture but most importantly I learned about my own life and what I should expect from it."

"Launching myself into the world with no expectations was the most terrifying thing I have ever done, and that’s why it became the most enlightening experience I have ever had. When you challenge your limits, you expand your comfort zone and your mind, granting you the ability to handle anything. Throw yourself out there -- I guarantee you will learn something about the world, its people, and yourself!"
