On campus life: From day one at Fletcher, I was amazed and fascinated by a very strong sense of community among students, faculty, and staff. There is a common understanding that everyone is part of a bigger family, which creates a very positive atmosphere. People here are friendly and always ready to help.
How Fletcher has broadened my global perspective: Academic programs at Fletcher are designed to broaden students’ global perspectives, but what does so even more are the things students learn from one another. A very diverse student body made up of people with different backgrounds, interests, and experiences is a non-exhaustive source of information. By interacting with peers from all over the place, every day I discover something new about the world we all live in.
