I took the hoard because of the perfect total package for me I really what I want to read so I really wanted to have a community here so much about your choice of grad project will is what you're learning with Alongside that I visited my school and the 4th with me HOW to a really unique special place where you are is really like a large family and that was very silly me I have lifelong friend I actually met my husband graduates ago also what more can I say and our daughter goes here. And it was just to see a great really supportive I also love the diversity I thought it was incredibly inclusive of all types no matter where you came from which is a little bit different than my east coast undergrad experience so I really I really like that I think sport is very collaborative I really appreciate it's not competitive I think because we're all interested in different types of policy and we're all looking for different types of jobs afterwards and we're all coming from different backgrounds some students had a strong quantitative background others were bringing more qualitative experiences in interest was a really nice mix and you got to benefit from all of those as a student it is certainly especially in students studying public policy Michigan is a really interesting place to study policy because you have the city of Detroit which is feeling a lot of governance and fiscal issues and poverty. And then you indeed you're based in this town an Arbor which is just incredible and has tons of resources so it's a very interesting place to study policy and think about these issues I just remember just immediately and you know making friends very quickly. With these people who all cared about the same and just whatever their is issue area was were really passionate about it and wanted to kind of improve the world and make change in you know a lot of board school people state my closest friends and my years that.
