10、th a large engineering department, many famous professors and lots of good labs and research equipment. But thats not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice;

11、I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility (灵活) and a value system to guide me in my job.
