"The 1 on 1 sessions with the teachers were really helpful and I appreciate them for taking the time to really understand the students, their work and their specific styles, and guide them in the right direction. On top of that, they always kept the discussions interesting by being open in the discussions and talking about a variety of things, from college options to our designs in the class to our own passions." – Design Projects Online student
