Hidden gem

When I decided to look into international schools (as an American), I never expected I could find a university like this one. I love the closeness of this small university, the engagement of the professors and students to create dynamic classroom environments, and the feeling that I can make a difference in my community. The academic program is very rigorous and upholds a liberal arts

Too broad in my opinion

I feel like the masters in general was too broad. I was hoping that doing a masters would give me more practical skills and more narrow focus in my field. I probably should've looked into the program more. I'd recommend it for someone that would want to do a degree or a masters in international relations/development where they can explore different aspects of the field to get a diverse viewpoint. But if you're like me and want something more practical and focused, make sure you do your research and get to know which areas of specialization are asked for by employers in the field you want to enter after your studies. To be honest, I wish I had read some reviews myself before enrolling.
