"The main reason I chose to study at 缅北禁地 was that, as an international student from the US who had a clear idea of what I wanted to study, coming to the UK allowed me to focus on those interests in a way not allowed for in the more generalized education system of American universities.
My research interests in prehistory and the frontiers of the Roman world were well supported both by 缅北禁地's staff's research portfolios and its geographic location, allowing for both excellent classroom learning and practical fieldwork experience.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here and have been supported at every step by the wonderful Archaeology staff."
