I really liked the atmosphere of the Institute: it’s a small school with high academic standards and unique cultural diversity. To be honest, MIIS has exceeded most of my expectations. I can definitely see that the skills I’m getting as an MPA student are very applicable and highly transferable. Prior to coming to MIIS I never had a chance to appreciate all the benefits of teamwork. I believe that the ability to work effectively and productively with many people coming from different backgrounds is something that I will appreciate for the rest of my life.
