 Everybody has their dream. It doesn't matter which background you're from. They come to SOAS, so you'll be able to benefit enormously to see the world differently from many different pairs of eyes. I study MA international studies and diplomacy at SOAS. My classes include general diplomatic studies, international law and Middle East politics. You get people and you get a curriculum that you wouldn't have anywhere else. I think my experience studying at SOAS in Chinese art really sort of elevates my appreciation and understanding of art to another level. If I had to choose three words to sum up my experiences at SOAS, there is something for everyone. SOAS have really, in a practical sense, opened up a lot of doors for me, career-wise. What is great about living and studying in London is its rich history. Every day you've got so much to learn, so much to see, so much to experience. Well, my favorite thing about SOAS is the diversity. It was the most eclectic mix of people from a multitude of cultures and background. Because of the small size of these classrooms and tutorials, it contributes to more intimacy in terms of communications between the tutors, between the lecturers and the students. I was amazed by the attention that each student received from every member of the faculty. When you have such small classroom sizes, the traffic goes both ways. It would give you a broader perspective of seeing the world and then finding yourself in the world. Talking from a Chinese perspective, it will certainly give you a greater chance to develop your own personality and individuality. If I had any tips or advice for students who are looking at coming to study at SOAS, try to understand what the school is all about. It's not just the ranking, it's not just what it looks like superficially. It's also what SOAS stands for, the diversity, the history and the spirit of activism that is everywhere in a school when you're on campus. I find SOAS students are a great mix in terms of their ideas, their personalities. They all have a very clear but unique vision about their future. I definitely feel that I am part of something greater here at SOAS.
