"The biggest lesson I learned was how to push myself out of my comfort zone. I think that is something that I had heard before and always thought I was doing until I got to a new city, in a new country with new people.

"The IES program gives you the option to choose from some really interesting classes that you wouldn’t normally take at your home school – I chose to take a film production course while some of my friends chose architecture or theater courses. You can learn a lot from these courses that you wouldn't otherwise know! The internship..."
