![]() For example, the handwriting analysis workshop was excellent and visiting the Design School (d.school) felt a bit like coming home, as I was otherwise studying fields that were far from Design and Arts. I also enjoyed visiting the Stanford d.school and other activities organized by the IHP program (through which Aalto students come to Stanford). ![]() As a summer student one gets full access to the facilities as well as a Stanford email, which could be used to make some lasting connections with local companies for example. My highlights were weekend trips into Californian nature, visits to Facebook and Google and places like that, as well as “just” hanging around campus breathing in the history of the place and everything that comes with it, such as great sport facilities and labs and libraries with walls and walls of wisdom. But either way, I learned something and the courses are of high quality after all, and if you make sure that you are really into the topic, you will learn a lot! Yosemite National Park weekend trip I loved my Social Psychology class and was a bit disappointed by Thinking Strategically, as it didn’t quite fit the actual course description. Based on the scholarship and visa requirements we were supposed to take a minimum of 8 study units and I would not recommend taking more, as there should be enough time left to enjoy the campus, other activities and the sun and surrounding! Initially I had another list of courses that I wanted to take but many students make changes to their plans once they arrive and know the actual schedule and offerings for that year. I took Introduction to Social Psychology, Thinking Strategically and Leading Trends in Information Technology.
