Challenging, Refreshing, Rewarding

I just finished my MAAS and I absolutely loved it. Having already done three years of American Studies during my BA, I started this masters interested to know how the professors would handle the fact that most students did not come from an American Studies background. Were they going to explain it all again? Or were they just going to leave the others behind? These initial thoughts were soon swept away by my first lecture. Straightaway I understood that this masters is not about how much you know or don't know; it's about what you want to know. Sure, this masters is no different from any other masters; you're going to have to get stuck in, but how you do it: that's up to you. The professors do a fantastic job at showing you every corner of American Studies; political, cultural, theoretical, etc. By use of a simple VPN connection you have access to all the stuff you need to feed your thirst for knowledge, and believe me, thirsty you will get. Although at times it might seem that the water gets a little deep and the amount of freedom you receive might seem a little overwhelming, with the right attitude this masters can be the most enriching experience of your life. Not only did my (already proportionally large) passion for American Studies grow, so did my passion for learning all together. I can probably go on about this program for hours, but since this website limits me to 200 characters, I'll try and sum up my experience in three words: challenging, refreshing, rewarding.
