<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p>I am Jeffrey Bian from Beijing, China. I applied for some programs in US to continue my study. My interest is in Game Design (whether technically or not) and below are the schools / programs I applied.</p>
<p>1 ETC @ CMU;
2 Media Design and Production Track, Telecom @ IUB;
3 Interactive Games and Media @ RIT;
4 GNWC (which locates in Vancouver, Canada);</p>
<p>Currenly I already got an offer from IUB with TA/RA. But I cannot find much alumni info from <a href="mailto:Telecom@IUB">Telecom@IUB</a>. The committee told me that they do have Game design courses and projects on going. But I would like to know how IUB's game related program is recognized within the industry, because I am foreseeing to work for game companies (level design/engine design) in the future. Could anyone who knows much about it share me some information?</p>
<p>Also, IGM @ RIT looks good. I also heard RIT has strong connections with industry (from their website). But there is no clear ranking of RIT's graduate school (at least i cannot find one). Anyone has some advice on the choice?</p>
<p>As for GNWC, i don't think i could more information except from its official site.... it is quite new and looks somewhat not 'formal'... :(</p>
<p>I'd appreciate your advice and suggestions.</p>
