We are sure the 2018 team will enjoy this new and enriching experience!

Students from the MCH program have described the trip as an amazing experience and have provided very positive feedback. 

Many feel that it has enabled them to gain an enhanced knowledge of housing standards and professinal office structures which will help them in developing their business plans and getting new potential clients. They also appreciated the opportunity to interact with successful architects and professors teaching at ETH Zurich, one of the best Architecture Schools of the world.
