20 16er asks about the choice of UIUC and UCSB!

Hehe, as an international student who has stayed in California for several years, I can boldly tell you that it is the same for you to study any communication major. Communication is not as good as the "media" in China. American advertisements have advertisements, and news has news. I have a classmate who studied this major. I haven't even taken a professional course for 2 years! The professional courses they study are actually the GE courses we study in order to collect credits and meet the graduation requirements, general education, dear! No professionalism at all! This major can't find a job in the United States, nor can it find a job back home. The only thing you can rely on is your school's ranking and international familiarity, which is only useful for you to find a job when you return to China. Americans have a score in their hearts, and they can directly know where your school is strong without looking at its ranking and reputation. So in good conscience, it doesn't matter where you go. It's a bit of a shock to you, but it's true. Want to change majors? It is easy to think of! UIUC I dare not say that in some schools in UC, all subjects in your major must be above UC GPA3.0, that is, above B, while UC 3.0 is basically above 90 points in all subjects in China. The difficulty is not a little, and it is just "consideration"! California is short of money every year, and there are not enough teachers, so students can't choose courses. Where is it so easy to transfer to you? Although UIUC is not in California, it certainly has certain requirements, so it is not convenient to go there. I suggest you think about it.
