Webster Graduate School offers the student a unique and gratifying experience of being an American university placed in the centre of London. The distinct cross drawn between the United States and United Kingdom, the embedded special relationship of the two countries and the trans-Atlantic unity of the two continents is highly evident while at Webster. A student will benefit from being at the middle of the two greatest education powers of the world. It doesn’t stop with the chemistry of the two states and two continents being illuminated right in front of your eyes. What is further satisfying and rather impressive is the international dynamics Webster Graduate School posses. With students from over 40 countries, diversity beautifies Webster. Not to lessen the value of the knowledge you will learn from the classroom, but just being in the classroom, sharing opinions and experiences with your fellow classmates who represent all four corners of the world filled of spectrums of nationalities is a privilege I will never forgot and always cherish.

What I learned from those debates and discussions in class was a course in itself, a course that will remain sealed in my mind forever. Our notable professors encouraged our extensive dialogues with one another building a bridge of understanding. Numerous occasions left us with food for thought. Finally, our professors of high calibre and excellence supported by a caring staff complete the splendour of Webster. As an international relations major I was touched by the passion, intelligence, and determination of my professors Yossi Mekelberg, Ahron Bregman, and Lyn Smith. Furthermore, the Director of Webster Dorothy Englis and the Administrator Sue Miller gave us the support we needed to complete our studies and facilitated our time as students; they were an equally important part of the equation. To sum it up all I would do it all over again, every moment was worth it and will stay with me.

" Looking back at my year in London, I must say I made a wise selection. Webster is not just a university; determined students can gain from their study period in various ways. Every hour in class is a possibility to learn not only from the professor but also from your fellow classmates, who come from every corner of the world bringing their own mindsets and diverse experience with them. Assignments are designed to approximate real life challenges, the relationship student – staff is on a very personal basis, an open door policy is self-evident and social contacts amongst students are promoted through regular events organised by staff and student’s government."
