-: Well, it was a phenomenal place to go to school.
I came here because it was at the
forefront of architectural education.
It still is.
I was mentored by an absolutely
wonderful architect and professor,
both in the classroom
and I interned for him after I graduated,
so the whole experience was just
incredibly, incredibly stimulating.
My trip to Europe was a summer-abroad program.
It was sponsored by the University,
so I got to travel in Europe with some, again,
under a group of professors that were very
very good to work with and very knowledge.
So it kind of set the whole stage for my life.
It formed me
into what I am.
It helped me open up my creativity.
It helped me develop problem-solving
strategies that I still use today.
