2023 Interior Architecture Students

STUDENTS

College often can be an extremely poignant time of one's life; it is an occasion for individual growth and expansion. Undergrads begin to realize what they can be and cultivate the integral skills to be a halcyon member of society. But learning goes beyond a classroom - the campus dialogue, the life lesson received from a tenured instructor, the exposure to a different stance on an issue. As such, a diverse college experience vastly improves what you gain from your time in university.
