Students from nearly 30 countries across the globe find a welcoming home at the College of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture.
CAPLA is and was both a school and a home to me, 11,000 kilometers away from my home and my family. Here, I found a loving environment that I look forward to being a part of everyday.
