"The most unexpected part of the LDT program was how ALIVE an online program can feel. I walked in expecting discussion boards, but I got a true design studio. Faculty and classmates remembered my projects, asked pointed follow ups, and helped me pressure-test real problems from work, fast. The feedback was kind, specific, and usable the same week."
