My fellow students here, the staff, the beaches, the sea, the weather, the city and its locals, all of this has made me feel anymore closer to home than anywhere else abroad, in spite of being 3500 miles away from it. The teaching faculty are extremely well informed and are leading authorities in their fields, and this not only encourages me but creates a strong sense of confidence in me, in the guidance I am getting from them and in what I am learning as a result. The seminars are very interactive and exciting and not like the normal boring drills as they usually seem to be. Coming here to study, I feel it could?t have been anywhere else and feel myself attached to this place and the friends in LLM I have made here. It shall always be a happy memory."
