After presenting in class to introduce the history, structure, and flavors of IST, I have actually got a more comprehensive knowledge about it, from which I feel Wow.
There are many impressive aspects of IST, from its unique building across the Antherton Street, to its flat structure, and the diversity of both faculties and students. I have to say that IST is unique.
Different from many traditional departments, there is no department in College of Information Sciences and Technology. So here comes a question, how to manage this unit? What is the structure of IST? There are many research labs and centers that focus on diverse research directions. And the freedom dimension is great for students because they can find what they are really interested in.
Where can I fit in IST? It is not a new question. When I began to apply programs in the US last year, I thought a lot about it. I am interested in how to make information work better for human beings and what is the effective interaction between human and computer. What's more specifically, how to implement security and privacy issues into this big HCI framework is the major issue I am concerning with.
I believe I will enjoy my life here, both academic and on-campus.
