"The incredible learning experiences with people from all around the world have made me a more globally minded person. The class I took only had about 20 students and I got to interact a lot with the professor and other students within the class. Outside the classroom, SMU offered really interesting activities of which I went to AWS and Adobe offices. I also met people from across the world including some who I am going to definitely stay in contact with."

- Charlotte Ormond, Bachelor of Commerce student
