Andrea's story
My name is Andrea Garcia, I come from Quéretaro, México, and I am studying the MSC in Industrial Design Engineering. Currently I am a proud holder of the Holland Scholarship.
I had the chance to study at the University of Twente when I was doing a year of exchange. Back then I saw and felt what an innovation playground the Twente area and the University itself are. After every lecture I urgently felt the rush to strive for better and I was enchanted by the stream of ideas and knowledge that popped in every alley of the University. I truly believed that this conglomerate of cultures, brilliant people and tacit companies support were the most motivating creative environment one could ever ask for. I felt so in love with daily breathing knowledge and culture, that I committed every drop energy I had in order to be able to come back; and so I did.
