"It's hard to imagine a better way to spend two years than to be at Fletcher. And, yes...every complimentary cliché about the institution is truer than you can imagine. The Fletcher community, the professors, the intimate academic atmosphere, the multi-culturalism, the diversity, the extra-curricular endeavors (from sports to journalism to camping) - they are all remarkable. But it's the faces and conversations that leave an undeniably indelible impression. I would do it all over again if I could. "
