What is your most memorable experience from your program?

My most memorable experience from the program was the opportunity to meet people from all over the United States and from so many different schools. It was such a unique opportunity to make some memories that I will cherish for a long time with people that I just met. The circumstances created an environment that encouraged being open minded.

What is your advice for someone considering your program?

Go in with an open mind and try and meet as many people as you can! DIS is great because its housing encourages you to meet new people instead of only staying with people that you already know. I met some incredible people and got to do some really cool things.
