CIR is an incredibly intensive and challenging intellectual course that is one of the best things I have done with my life. The work ethic I have picked up and stimulating discourses I have engaged in during the course of the academic year with many of the world's top minds played an integral part in shaping my approach to the professional realm. Furthermore, the course allows you take a plethora of classes in other schools within the University that, if chosen carefully, will give you a well-rounded perspective of world politics, and more importantly, inter-state and HUMAN relations. Lastly, the friendships forged in the fires of mugging in International House, even for those who don't stay there, make it all worthwhile. CIR class of 2005 rocks!
