What I like best about the
political science program,
is the flexibility and
the ability to take classes
and other subjects as well as
classes specifically related
to the American politics
subjects that I'm interested in.
I think our students are great,
and we have sort of combination, right.
We have students who are fresh from
college and highly competent students.
We also have part-time students
who are either working in the 
government, in the military,
in the private sector.
We also have international students.
Because of our location,
most students who come here
are keenly interested in
politics and international affairs
and really care passionately.
So that makes the class discussion
very interesting.
So my classmates in
the Political Science program
are also very knowledgeable,
they come from a variety of backgrounds
who have some Hill experience,
some are also just like me right
out of undergraduate programs.
So they bring a lot of
diversity to the classes,
and a lot of interesting discussions.
If they're really interested in
politics, say, international affairs,
and you read newspapers, and you
read about them in social media,
you watch TV, and often
you may not understand
what's underlying on
these underlying events,
why they are happening,
and more importantly, what might be
some of the solutions for the problem?
If I were talking to a potential student,
I would tell them that the political
science program is a great way
to learn the skills necessary
in political science,
whether it's qualitative skills,
quantitative skills,
conducting research, being
able to read the literature
in a new way and piece
together new information.
It's a great program to learn
about the skills that are
necessary for a career
related to political science.
