Student Testimonials
Here’s what students who took part in the LA Study Tour program had to say about their experience.
“Going on the LA Study Tour was one of the best decisions I made in college. I chose to go to learn more about the area and the different companies out there, as well as make important connections. We learned about fashion, art, architecture and the city’s culture. The LA trip made me fall in love with the city and gave me the confidence to move here after I graduated. I had the absolute best time and learned so much that I’ll always carry with me”.

“As a full-time student athlete, the LA Study Tour gave me the opportunity to have a study away experience without sacrificing a competition season. It also opened my eyes to future career opportunities, as I saw different markets and got to experience the west coast firsthand! My experience launched me into my current position, as it showed me what I really wanted to do without ever leaving the United States! I’d recommend this for any student looking for a summer opportunity in the U.S, or any student athlete looking for an opportunity that fits around their sport.”

“Taking part in the LA Study Away program was one of the best decisions I made my senior year. This experience introduced me to the incorporating art, architecture, food, culture, and, of course, fashion of Los Angeles. During my time here, I got an in-depth snapshot of what makes this city so spectacular. I hadn’t considered building a life or career on the west coast until I took part in the LA Study Away program. Now, I live and work full-time in Los Angeles and I haven’t looked back since."
