Study Abroad at UAL: Integrated Programs

I was able to be part of the Integrated Study Abroad program at Central Saint Martins. Luckily, previous students before me have been in this program before, so I was able to get a lot of advice and suggestions in regards to the school I attended and what I explore in the city. From my school in the US, I came to London with 3 of my friends from the same field of study, communication design. I am so grateful that I was able to go with these friends and that I was able to meet new people, too. I have created friendships at CSM that I am so happy to have and I believe that my experience there wouldn't have been the same without them. My time in London and at CSM has heavily shifted my perspective and the way I design. During my time at CSM, I realized that the way I worked was very restricted and had many rules. After my time in London, I knew that this was a great opportunity for me to change and become more open to the way I design. I miss London so much :(

My time at UAL was great, it was when I realized I could do more than I thought I could. It opened my mind to new projects and possibilities. My course, interaction Design Arts had great teachers that were always willing to help and make us feel like home. The time I spent there made me fall in love with London and and gave me options of work I could do that never realized I could do before.
