Studying at the University in the Age of Self-Learning. My Experience as the Design Student
- Studying at university is often perceived as the next obvious step towards a successful career, but it is often overrated; it offers only foundational knowledge, and it doesn’t necessarily deliver what it promises.
- Meeting and connecting with like-minded people is one of the best parts about studying at university.
