LIFE IN CRPS
Studying CRPS is about so much more than learning how societies function or how economics, policy, and the environment intersect. It’s about understanding people, really understanding communities and their real-life challenges. One of the most exciting aspects is meeting international students. Sharing ideas with peers from around the world expands your perspective and shows you how differently people approach problems.
WHAT I CHERISH MOST
For me, field research is the highlight of CRPS. I’ve had the opportunity to travel to Thailand to conduct research, exploring slum areas and addressing fire hazard risks. I also visited Saijo in Japan, where we proposed solutions to challenges posed by an aging population. Experiencing these diverse social issues firsthand made me realize that the thrill of understanding what’s really happening on the ground, and thinking about meaningful solutions, is what makes this major so rewarding.
CRPS has taught me that solving problems starts with listening, learning, and seeing the world through others’ eyes. And that’s an adventure I’m grateful to be on every day.
