[TPC] is one of the best decisions I've ever made. Go out as much as possible and lean on the TPC staff when you're down (they help you up!).

I feel like I have learned a lot about myself as a person, what I should look for in any future company, and the kind of lifestyle I want to pursue.

I would highlight recommend this program to students who want to experience what being independent is like and to those who are open-minded. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about a new city.
