Talent and motivation
While the students in the BSE Class of 2015 come from diverse backgrounds and have a variety of goals for the future, class member Benjamin Anderson '15 (Economics of Public Policy) observed that all the students have two things in common: talent and motivation.
"Having completed my first couple weeks of classes on the campus of the Barcelona School of Economics, my fundamental reasoning for embarking on this path has been validated and any immediate apprehensions of, “Am I in the right place?”, have been laid to rest," he said. "Witnessing my classmates' thirst for knowledge, hearing them express their ideas in accents from all over the globe, and sensing their determination forged by diversified past experiences is immediate motivation."
