Projects have real-world application

I must say, first year was like a dream come true for me; which is good, because we didn't get much opportunity to sleep, much less dream.  

In first year we learned things that students at other schools wouldn't learn until at least 3rd year.  

Every project we were assigned had some real-world applications such as our Contemplative Centre project where we designed a new building for the UofWindsor's campus.

OR, our Interpretive Centre Project where we designed a space that informed people about the history of the region, placed on the shores of the Detroit River.  

Our collaboration with UDM is the most exciting part as we got to travel to Detroit twice a week via limo and learn about architecture from an American perspective.  

In all, First year was excellent for me.
