What was the most impactful experience during your time at WP Carey?
The most impactful experience would have been our master's project with a company. We had the opportunity to engage professionals in the field while we were still at school. This allowed us to apply the skills we were learning in our program to real-life situations.
It was an insightful experience, especially as a student. You don't always understand the application of what you're learning. Being able to engage with real clients and apply those skills was a first step to understanding what I would do next.
I would also add that we had many students from all over the world, and it was a great experience to work closely with them. The business analytics program I was in was a nine-month program, which was quite short. We were basically working and studying every day with our fellow students.
Working in groups helped us learn faster because we had multiple minds working on a problem.
