CFS Program: Field Studies in Public Health

I have taken Chicago Field Studies twice now, and both times it has been a wonderful experience. The CFS staff is extremely helpful in their guidance, and the internships themselves have been great learning experiences. When I first did CFS as a sophomore, I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do after college. While I can’t say that I’ve figured out what my “ideal career” would be, I can say that I have learned a lot about myself — as a worker, and as an individual — and these realizations have helped me better understand what I want to do post-graduation. I’ve done the program twice now, and plan on doing it again in the fall. CFS has been an extremely important part of my college experience, and I’d encourage everyone at Northwestern to do it.
