Review Title:
the extra-mile
Full Review of the Program:
The best part about the Lesley program are the students. They range from award-winning journalist, Doctors at Harvard medical school, to moms and waitresses. The diversity of backgrounds adds a texture to the program that you won't find anywhere else. Also, there is a low level of competitiveness among the students, which fosters an atmosphere of collaboration. You really get the sense that we are all in this together and everyone wants you to succeed.
The second-best part about Lesley is the faculty. The faculty are not just faculty, they are mentors and friends. They go the extra-mile by helping students get published, keeping in touch after graduation. They treat you like peers. No other program has this.
