Three reasons why I love assad. The first reason has to absolutely be the location. It has the beach and the mountains right here, so there's always so much wonderful free things to do outside and you constantly feel how exciting and kind of alive the city is at any time. There is such a good energy about the city and you will never get bored. You're almost always gonna have too many options of what you can do every night. You see that with everyone in your class as well, that everybody is always keen to go out to dinner and grab drinks or go to the beach or go for a hike. You pretty much have endless opportunities in Barcelona, but it is such an easy place to live and the commute from Barcelona to thank God is really manageable. Another reason I really love a Saudi is the professors and the class dynamics. The professors are all real world experienced, they have done a lot and accomplished a lot and it translates in the way they teach. All of them tend to be very engaging as well and they really emphasize participation in their class. Every single one of my classes in international management does take participation. So it's not just the professor lecturing on us, but three hours, but it's them asking our questions are inputs on our cases on our readings or for real life experience, examples of what they're talking about. So not only do you get the chance to kind of share your thoughts, but you gotta listen to everybody in the classes and because it's such a diverse class, you learn so much about the other people in the room and it really kind of helps you connect with them and build up your repertoire with them and maybe even connect for things like careers. There's just so much that you can gain from the costume experience the professors as well. They don't just try to focus on theoretical could be like this could be like that, but they try to really teach you in a way that could directly translate into a career. You're getting pushed to be a global leader, a global manager, which is exactly what I wanted out of the international management. The third reason I definitely love a Saudi is the student body. You will never meet anyone boring at a sad. Everybody has so much diverse experience in terms of whether education maybe what they might have done for a job before you learn so much from one another and everyone is so motivated to do well, people are really supportive. People want to help each other in terms of looking at career stuff or in the classroom. It's this big support network that I think is so fantastic to have in a business school.
