"The Harvard Law School LLM program was so much more than just a chance to learn about the rules and functioning of the US legal system; it was a unique opportunity to interact with US law students and famous US scholars and practitioners in a vibrant, restless and demanding academic environment."

Building friendships as a Fulbrighter
The HLS LLM program was so much more than just a chance to learn about the rules and functioning of the US legal system; it was an unique opportunity to interact with US law students and famous US scholars and practitioners in a vibrant, restless and demanding academic environment that enhances your perspectives over the legal profession and what you as a practitioner or scholar can do. At the same time, it was about exchanging opinions with your fellow LLM students coming from different countries and having such a diverse background, getting to know them, their culture, their way of thinking, the way they speak, the values they worship, how they have fun. This provides you with a broader understanding of different events happening around the world, understanding that you cannot achieve only by reading books.
Last but not least, the program offers the most favorable environment for building friendships and applying the Latin saying carpe diem (seize the day). I am really confident that the friendships that each of us started during the LLM program at HLS will prove to be long lasting one.”
Romanian Alumni Stories
"At Harvard, fulfillment came not only from having an incomparable platform for intellectual growth, but also from being part of a nurturing community dedicated to making me feel integrated and heard. My colleagues from the Allen Lab and the Ash Center organized a Romanian Country Night, during which I presented our customs, history, and gastronomy, contributing to building bridges between our cultures. In March, almost all affiliates, members, and staff at the Ash Center wore a “mărțișor” bracelet for good luck, created in the workshop that followed my presentation. This type of respect and consideration was extremely touching, and I will be forever grateful to Professor Allen, my colleagues at Harvard, and the Fulbright program for making this experience possible."
