Students walked through the streets of Brussels, and saw the Place du Jeu de Balle, the Marolles district, the famous Manneken-pis statue and its less famous female equivalent Janneken-pis. They also had a chance to enjoy a typical Belgian meal in an Art Nouveau brasserie from the early 1900s, and tasted the renowned French Fries (actually a Belgian invention) from "Chez Antoine".

From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it..
