„Am absolvit sectia de Asistenta Sociala din cadrul Facultatii de Sociologie si Asistenta Sociala si mi-am dorit sa-mi continui studiile in aceeasi directie. Cand am inceput sa caut un master potrivit pentru mine, mi-am dorit sa fie unul cu o programa care sa puna accent mai mult pe partea practica. Despre masterul de Grupuri de Risc si Servicii Sociale de Suport nu stiam mai nimic (mai ales ca era primul an in care se tinea) insa programa mi s-a parut foarte interesanta, asa ca am decis sa aplic. Spre marea mea bucurie, asteptarile nu mi-au fost inselate. Tot ce am invatat aici m-a ajutat sa pun intr-o lumina proaspata toate cunostintele anterioare de asistenta sociala, facand treptat trecerea de la teorie la practica. In acelasi timp, am gasit un mediu cu oameni veniti din diferite domenii, energici si dornici de schimbare. Profesorii sunt disponibili si apropiati de studenti. Informatiile oferite sunt bine selectate si de ultima ora.”
