Student Summer Experience


“I thoroughly enjoyed participating in summer exchange as a way to broaden my perspectives, make friends in previously unfamiliar places, learn from amazing professors, and experience life in a different country. The summer program was super relevant to what I study in school as a student in the Faculty of Media and Creative Arts. We covered topics like team leadership, creativity management, and global destination branding, which have all informed my understanding and application of concepts into my work and program. I was also able to meet wonderful students who share a passion for travel and learning new things.  One of the highlights of being in Finland in the summertime was the endless sun, walking around a park at midnight like it was only the afternoon."
