The Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences has long become an integral part of my life: my brother entered it ten years ago, and six years later I became a student myself. It was certainly my choice to study at this Faculty, but it was only closer to the graduation date that I began to appreciate it as a place that gives me a strong moral compass to guide my development as a person. Critical thinking, all-round education, interesting people, research under the guidance of teachers passionate about their work—these are just a few things that I have received from the Faculty.
