I never got the chance to properly thank you for the wonderful time I had in Boston. It was life changing to experience a completely new lifestyle, meet tons of fun people, and challenge myself to use my mind in ways I didn't think of.

Being part of summer program as unforgettable. Solving a real-world problem for the case experience study in just 48 hours was challenging, but rewarding. Working with a team from diverse backgrounds gave me a new perspective, pushing me out of my comfort zone and inspiring me to tackle future challenges with confidence.
