I've enjoyed it a lot. It's the first time I've gone to school with folks who purely have the same interests as me, along with the same ambition, talent, and smarts. It has done a world of good to me to be challenged as I have.

My program emphasizes basic skills and work experience. So I've had to had an internship (which is great) and most of my classes are required "core" classes that focus on basic professional skills and the philosophy behind public administration. It's not exactly ideal, in my opinion, but I think it set's me up well for a career in the public sector. Your mileage could vary depending on the program you select - if you do look into public admin programs, make sure to do your research!
