My kowledge has bee greatly icreased by what I have leared here. I have take courses i statistical aalysis with reliable ope-source software, somethig which is valuable i may fields. I have also deepeed my theoretical thikig ad critical aalysis, which is valuable ot oly for career prospects but also for life i geeral. Fially, about the campus itself, I fid it to have a great atmosphere, especially the Lakeside, which is a beautiful place to watch susets from. The library also has may valuable books ad jourals i may iterestig research areas. This has bee, udoubtedly, a very fulfillig experiece ad I would recommed for ayoe who is iterested i politics to study here. Politics 69
