Hear From One of Our Students
Although it was online and I didn’t get to see the full spectrum... it was really interesting to me nonetheless, to see how UC Berkeley professors, or at least the two professors that I learned from, approached their classes, and to see their style of education. So, I think studying abroad, even if it’s academics alone, would give you a broader perspective on education in general and also what you can have as a choice in the future if you decide to continue onto a master’s, like me, or PhD.
