"I am an international student from China... [The instructors in the MPA program] helped me to settle down here in campus and made serious concern about my study life too. They lend me a hand whenever I am in trouble. I think that this is the best character I have learned from our MPA academy advisors and professors. As a public administrator, one should work hard and effectively, and pay more concern about public and others' problems. This is the basic skill for a successful public administrator... I can imagine that I will benefit much more from the knowledge I learned here after I go back to China."
