Journalism at City

Here is what Wikipedia has to say about the Program at my school:

"The Department of Journalism at City University London is one of the world's leading journalism schools.

It is considered one of the best universities in the United Kingdom in that field of study as well as the nation's largest centre for journalism education. It is regarded as the "Oxbridge of journalism".

British newspaper The Independent praised its "legendary status within the media", primarily due to its practical approach to journalism and its unparalleled access to media facilities.

The Department is situated within City University London's Grade II listed College Building, which dates from 1894. The Department is led by Professor George Brock, formerly International Editor of The Times."

Yep. No big deal at all.
I am honored to be accepted to this prestigious school and to be among some of the leading writers in the world.
I heard a guest lecture from Leonard Downie, Jr. who is the current vice president of the Washington Post. I am in awe of every professor who has come to speak so far in my classes, their CV's are incredible. George Brock, my department head is absolutely accomplished and amazing.

I think the most interesting aspect of my program is actually my peers. I am in the international journalism track, therefore all of my peers are from around the world. I have made close friends from Italy, Spain, Ireland, the United States, Holland, France and Sweden. Every single one is a superstar from their own town and country and many of them are even flying back and forth when they can to continue working at papers and stations back home. I am one of the youngest students in my program so I have been privileged to see so many walks of life and of course the stories that come along with it. They all challenge and inspire me everyday!

Needless to say I am in a great place, with great people and getting a great education. I cannot wait to embark on a year of intense studies, I know I will be another person when I come out the other end!
