After settling in and orientation, Zoya toured the campus and was “genuinely impressed by the beauty and atmosphere at UChicago. The architecture and green spaces are stunning, and I could have easily spent hours exploring.”
Emily Edwards says that her first week at the Bard College Young Writers Workshop was, in one-word, “different.” “Any building on campus could easily be accessed in a less than 10-minute walk through the beautiful, humid, wooded paths. The classrooms were one of the few air-conditioned buildings, providing nice cool spaces to write, read, and discuss,” Emily says.
Tanya Arun says that her first week at the Washington University Research Development Institute has been different from what she expected, “but in a good way.”
“This week’s projects were very independent and also very hands-on. On the first day, our professor had us introduce ourselves and share our hobbies. We then began our lessons, starting with the meaning of architecture, from the Latin words chief and builder,” Margaret says.
“If I had to describe the experiences I’ve had inside and outside the lectures and labs in one word, it would be memorable. I’ve learned an incredible amount in just one short week—from how medicine works in our bodies to the anatomy of various body systems. I can confidently say that this program is going to be unforgettable,” Addison says.
“My course, ‘Contagion: Infectious Diseases and Agents,’ has already been full of exciting hands-on labs, new discoveries, and growth,” Laila says.
