"The Regent’s American College London was an excellent place to study International Relations because of the multicultural student body and the cosmopolitan setting.  The lectures were always inspirational with challenging curricula and exciting debates. One of the most exciting aspects of RACL is the small class sizes facilitating a first-rate relationship between the students and faculty as well as the chance for extra help and tuition when I needed it most. The diverse and inspiring education I received at RACL set me on the path to be able to further my education with a Masters degree in International Relations from Kings College London which I will complete December 2004."
