The GGU School of Law is a perfect place for International law students. It's not big in the number of staff and students, but it is the best thing about this university. Professors are always available for individual consultation, the administraton is very carying and is always ready to help. It's more like a family. The study process is very comfortable, but at the same time deep and demanding. Most of the professors are former international students and it helps a lot in terms of adapting to new system and socialization. They are always happy to share their experience and to direct you in your career path if you wish.
I believe it was the best option I could have chosen when applying for the LLM in International Legal studies.

I would say that if you do not know how to learn online, now is the time to learn how to. Although it took me a some time to get used to taking a full semester online, the instructors in all my classes were very understanding and would reply to any questions I had very quickly. Now into my second semester and everything has started out great!

Golden Gate University is a non-profit university located in downtown San Francisco. I was enrolled as a full-time student. The university is diversified and has many international students. Many classes are held later in the afternoon and in the evening, which is ideal for working professionals who want to go back to school and advance their technical knowledge. There are also many online classes as an option. Many professors have a day time job which brings the practical aspect to the classroom.
