"As an IR major, learning about history and change fascinates me, especially the Cold War. Living and learning in the city that essentially encapsulates what the Cold War was, was as exciting as it was a challenge. In short, it had everything I was looking for in a program: cultural and historical richness, a great location in Europe, amazing academics, and a bustling city environment.”
