Why did you decide to study Information Systems in Seattle?
Information Systems (IS) combines business and IT, which are two of the hottest majors in the United States now. A lot of IT companies would like to hire talented IS students to get involved with their business. Even though the Seattle campus is small, it still provides great resources by the amazing staff on the campus, with assistance from Boston campus. Its great location provides potential of job opportunity from worldwide corporations, such as Amazon and Microsoft.

Is this your first time coming to the United States?
This is my fifth year in the United States since I got my bachelor’s degree in the States. Although life is still the same as the one I had in Bloomington, Seattle has surprised me with its own culture and history. The community is more friendly with all the people, dogs and so on. The public transportation system is well-organized, you can go anywhere in Seattle by using public transportation. Everything looks so fantastic here, the music, seafood and there are so many things you can explore by yourself.

What are some things about Seattle you would like to share with your Boston classmates?
I can say Seattle is my favorite city in the United States. This is the reason I have traveled here 5 times during my undergraduate study and finally decided to take graduate study here. Seattle is one of the leading cities in technology and cares more about sustainable development. Seattle is also the headquarters for many worldwide-known corporations such as Starbucks, Amazon and Microsoft. Students in Seattle have a variety of job opportunities. If you are a big fan of airplanes, you should definitely go to the Museum of Flight and have a tour of the Boeing Company when visiting Seattle. To really get the scope of Seattle, you’d better book a trip to fly here and explore the food, music, industry and beautiful views. You will love those.
