Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this program? http://www.miis.edu/

Just looking for observations or first-hand experiences.

I spent one semester there a few years ago. Beautiful location. The school doesn't have a lot of space, so you could drive right by and not know it. It's basically a few small buildings within a two block area. MIIS' focus on getting real experience is admirable and I believe their connections to NGOs/government agencies/think tanks are substantial. There are plenty of international students. Downside: the price tag/lack of name recognition. Also, I only got to know maybe three students. It wasn't like being in a co-hort where you see all the same people. But I guess it depends on the program. I was in International Policy Studies.

Thanks, this helps me a lot! Sounds like it would be ok if I lived closer, but not enough for me to move across the country for.
