Unfortunately I don't know anything more about the intelligence opportunities at MIIS, she had only heard the name of the school and it's reputation for being good. I know what you mean about MIIS being expencive, but I think for me it is the right choice for several reasons. The location is nice, there are students from all over the world, many internship opportunities and I like being able to combine development studies with Spanish (as I did in my undergrad). Fortunately the Norwegian government has a good loan/scholarship offer for doing a master's abroad, and MIIS also offered me a scholarship, so although I will end up with a big load, to me it is worth it. So Middlebury has a very good reputation? Equivalent to Ivy League? Can you explain? It sounds great, but being from Norway I have never heard of Middlebury (I have heard of Ivy League!), but of course the status of the school is quite important in finding a job! Good luck with making a choice! When do you have to decide?

Squawk to you too! Good to hear from someone else considering MIIS. Yeah, I've heard a lot of good about MIIS in regards to nonproliferation/terrorism. My friend studies it at King's College in London and according to people there it's the "only" other place to go. So that should be a heads up to you I am more interested in development, exactly what area I'm undecided on so far. My bachelor's degree is a more general International Politics, so I'm looking forward to specialising more on development and finding "my" area within that field. MIIS seems to be the place to be, especially because of the different internships, workshops and other things offered in addition to normal classes. I also love languages, and at MIIS I would be able to keep learning Spanish. And I love that it's a small school. What are your main reasons for wanting to go? Where are you from? Have you applied yet? I am waiting for my scholarship news, been told that I will find out in mid-April. But I think I've decided to go either way, might send in my reply one of these days to be able to join the private Facebook group for new students

Anyone going to Monterey Institute for International Studies, MIIS, starting fall 2011? I will be doing International Policy Studies with a concentration in International Development.
