Why PennGSE?

I have been thinking about writing a blog on why I chose Penn GSE, then I realized I haven't really thought about this question before I accepted. So the better topic is why I like Penn GSE after I came here since I only started thinking about this after I came to Penn GSE.
The thing I like most about GSE is the accessibility of professors and advisors. I care about if the professors are approachable a lot since it's graduate school, unlike the high school or undergraduate, the communication and interaction with professors can enlighten my studies to a great extent. Luckily, the professors in my program are very friendly and approachable, so are my advisor, she's very helpful in my studies and career development. She introduced me many internship opportunities and have helped me with my course selection.

Besides, I really enjoyed the classes here at Penn GSE. Till now, the class that I enjoyed the most is the language and gender class this semester. I feel that I have learned a lot from the class not only in the aspect of research study but also to my personal reflection as a female. I have also improved my English writing skills a lot in this class. I'm really looking forward to the distribution class (which is the class outside my division but within GSE), i chose the data analysis class from Quantitative Methods division and I think it will be a great experience too.
I also enjoyed my program's freedom to focus our study on the topics that we are interested in, we can choose distribution course which i have explained before, we can also choose courses outside GSE so we can have a more comprehensive understanding of the field.
In sum, I really think Penn GSE is a great choice for people who are open minded and curious of researching in various fields!
