[IxDA Discuss] Best schools for HCI degrees?

[Anjali Arora]

Hi Soo,

I went to NYU's ITP, graduated in 2005.

It's a great program with an extremely diverse offering in terms of  
courses, faculty; the students are almost 50% international. The  
program has evolved over time, & is constantly changing to keep pace  
with the field. What I loved about ITP was, apart from some wonderful  
people I met, the chance to dabble with different technologies:  
digital video, audio, physical computing, mobile, etc.  ITP is strong  
on experimentation, so if you like a less structured, playful  
approach to things, you'll like it here. That said, it pays to keep  
yourself focussed especially in the second year on career goals &  
appropriate courses & project work: the party does end, & one may  
find one has been playing in the sandbox too long!

So go ahead & apply, though the deadlines should be right around the  
corner to join in fall 2007.
