Juliet's story

Graduate student Juliet Chui spent her summer in London, UK, where the experience challenged her to adapt to a new culture, build confidence, and better understand the kind of career and environment she wants in the future.

"I have contributed to urban design projects in Riyadh, Almaty, and Düsseldorf. My work includes analyzing zoning regulations and planning codes, as well as creating diagrams and presentations that communicate our design ideas to clients. This experience has greatly expanded my understanding of the urban design process, particularly the quantitative aspects involving data, calculations, and development metrics."

"MIT-UK allowed me to live and work in London, gain firsthand insight into professional urban design, and learn new tools and workflows that I will bring back to my MIT thesis"
