Student Stories

Spring break just went by, meaning differently for different students. For some this was an opportunity to explore the USA, some visited family and friends, some just did some unwinding and as for me – I took the opportunity to engage in some more in-depth research in topics relating to humanitarian justice and writing two papers (with support of two of my professors, one in the UN and another at the world bank).

Hello again! I am excited to post a mid-spring post and restart my classes after a well-deserved break. In this post, I will describe my spring break in Israel, summer plans, and classes.

It’s hard to believe Emma and her fellow second-year students are weeks away from finishing their time at Fletcher. While there’s still plenty left to do in a short time, having a job nailed down is surely a big item checked off her “to-do” list!

Hello all! It has been a while since my last post, and I am excited to update you all on what I have been up to. I am currently writing this blog post while sitting in my favorite study spot on campus, the Ginn reading room. I must admit I am becoming quite sentimental while writing as it is my last semester at Fletcher.

Wow. I am sure I share the shock, sadness, and excitement of being at the final stretch of my time at Fletcher with the rest of my cohort.

Hello again! I am excited to begin the next semester after a well-deserved break. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to attend classes in-person this semester, in addition to the previous one. As this is my first experience studying abroad for an extended period, I have encountered a plethora of new experiences and challenges. I find it hard to believe that a quarter of my semesters at Fletcher have already passed.

As the spring 2023 semester begins, I am reminiscing about the fall 2022 semester and can gladly say that I am incredibly proud, confident, and yet heartbroken. Confident in my academic journey, proud of my achievements, and heartbroken over losses.

Today we’ll welcome another new blog contributor, LLM student Birendra. The LLM is a unique degree focused primarily on international law, and we’ll look forward to hearing about Birendra’s experience throughout the year.
