| Staff/Student Profiles: Los Angeles , USA |
| Oren Margolis: Medieval History "When I came to King's from Los Angeles and the University of Southern California for a full time MA in Medieval History, I already knew that I wanted to study for a doctorate afterwards; I thought I just needed the skills to make that happen. Well, I got the skills at King's - I had never studied Latin before, and here I took part in a Latin play this year. I also got a lot more than that: academics who cared about the personal attention they gave their students; intelligent classmates drawn from across the globe; and the academic resources of London, such as the British Library, the Courtauld Institute and the Institute of Historical Research on my doorstep." |
