Every discussion brings new perspectives because people approach challenges through distinct cultural, professional, and personal lenses. It has taught me the importance of collaboration and helped me develop a more global mindset. Also, in the past year alone, I have had the opportunity to enjoy interesting cuisine from diverse cultures, including Asian and Italian specialties.

The classes feel like a family. This is ideal for founders, networkers, and future leaders
Since it is a fairly small university, the classes feel like a family. This is ideal for founders, networkers, and future leaders. And that applies not only internally, but also across the board. I have many good friends from other degree programs.
I've had so many wonderful moments so far. It's important to note that there are only about 30 students in the MIE program, so every activity feels like a family reunion. That really adds a lot to the whole experience.
