Because I’m a visual artist and I wanted to challenge my idea of what is visually beautiful mix that with something that is how do we think about the the way something operates in a specific context so it’s aside from visual Beauty itself I wanted to think more about how it’s designed for the
User n because it’s a smaller City and it seemed to have a lot of a very Lively active uh social culture I like the richness of the social culture at least being a young person when I want to go out at night to a bar or a cafe there’s
Just people everywhere and it’s really easy to get to these places because of the public transport uh that differs I mean you might be used to that but it differs a lot from the US where it’s a lot of things are far away from each
Other and when you go to a restaurant or a bar bar it’s usually far away from other restaurants and bars so you don’t have this mass of activity that’s happening in one place like you do with a European city that’s what I really like about so I take the the tram and
The bus all the time cuz it’s it allows me to that’s also what I like about Transportation here I don’t have to drive a car so I don’t have to think about when I’m going from one place to another so it allows some kind of mental Space the program is very wide open you could say cuz it’s very based on the projects are you going out in the field and doing your own research yeah you could say it’s quite open ended a lot of it’s a process of you formulating your own questions and uh figuring out how to
Think as a designer it’s very it’s very open because it allows someone to explore all the ways of thinking as a designer I’m here for 2 years and for the fourth semester we’re going to do a 6 month internship in anywhere we want in the world world so that’s a really
Interesting aspect of the school and I know the school’s partnered with a lot of organizations and uh businesses that would allow that would allow a a student to get an internship that they might have otherwise not Had the thing I found the most interesting is the way we communicate CU there’s people have a lot of different ideas but then understanding what someone means when they use certain words is has been a big challenge um even with simple things and even amongst people who are from Western European
Cultures like from the US or from Poland or from France and so it’s interesting to see the diversity even within the countries that we assume to be very close to each Other I’m I’m thinking I’d stay in Europe uh just because the quality of life is more enjoyable for me for me specifically just get get a job at a small design studio in in France or in Belgium uh that’s where I’m looking now I I visited a few times in the sent I’ve worked on some farms in this sent and there’s the mountains is really nice like massive Cal is really Cool I don’t know about B when people say B I would say I’ve been having gallettes recently gallettes are a new thing that’s interesting Yeah
