"I enjoyed my time in the Ph.D. program tremendously. My adviser and other faculty members took a genuine interest in my research and in what I was learning. There were opportunities for cross-discipline interaction and for practical applications in the field of language learning. The department is balanced, with recognized scholars from various branches of linguistics, and it is well managed."
