Hi,
I have an interview from Iowa State in their MS in HCI program. The program guarantees full RA for all candidates and ergo, it is a good and viable option.
The appropriate link:
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) : MS Program
My question is:
1. How much does the reputation of Iowa State count considering that (a) this is a new program, (b) a very good program and (c) I want to do my PhD in a similar line from a top 5 school later.
2. How good is the location of Iowa State and is it a low cost of living town?
3. Overall, is it worth it, considering that I do not get any more offers of admission.
