Casey Meng

A dream years in the making, studying at MIT became a reality for Denmark native Casey Meng through the Advanced Study Program (ASP). A biological engineering student, she designed a personalized course of study during her semester on campus—taking graduate-level classes that complemented her studies back home while opening the doors to new academic interests. But her ASP experience extended well beyond the classroom, as she built friendships with peers from around the world, engaged in extracurricular activities, and explored all that Cambridge and Greater Boston have to offer.

“I’m incredibly grateful that I could realize my childhood dream of studying at one of the world’s leading universities and experience firsthand what makes it so special,” Casey shared. “More importantly, the experience reminded me that learning is not just about what you study, but also about who you learn with and how you apply your knowledge. I wholeheartedly recommend the ASP.”
