"When people ask me to describe the Minerva community in one word, I cannot do it. With your cohort, you experience everything together—from getting lost in San Francisco to stressing over HCs (Habits of Mind and Foundational Concepts) applications. Minerva is an emotional rollercoaster, but it shapes you in ways you cannot imagine, and you grow not only as individuals but also as a community of changemakers."

"Minerva’s immersive learning has made me crave creativity in my future career. By working on local topics for location-based assignments and partnering with firms in each rotation city, I have learned to love the feeling I get after I finish a project or creative deliverable that showcases the skills and knowledge I have accumulated. Because of this, I know I want a career that pushes me to constantly develop my skills to ideate and create something that impacts the world."

"My Minerva friends have become a personal bridge to the world, shaping how I view and relate to different cultures and places. Their diverse expertise and knowledge never cease to amaze me - I can always find someone in our cohort who has unique connections or backgrounds related to any topic or region I'm curious about."

"What truly captivated me about Minerva was the unparalleled opportunity to travel to so many countries around the globe. This, coupled with the prospect of immersing myself in diverse cultures and forging connections with individuals from various backgrounds, made Minerva an irresistible choice."

“The Minerva community consists of students from all over the world and has no bias towards citizenship or ethnicity. I have the opportunity to communicate with them about a lot of exciting events happening in their home countries that I have never encountered before.”
