It's been a good year!

I believe that this is an extremely global school, and it has been a tremendous experience interacting with a bunch of people from different nationalities. It has been an absolute pleasure to learn from some great names in the field. My only complaint would be in regard to the pressure the course invariably puts on the students. Even though Barcelona is a great city, it gets difficult when you are forced to the library 7 days a week. A work in progress would be my view on the programme!
