Getting into college shouldn't be this stressful.
I'm having a crisis.
Originally, I only applied to University of Southern California (my first choice) and SUNY Buffalo State College. I stayed at USC as most of you know for a month and absolutely loved everything about it. I have visited BSC numerous times, as well as attending a Sabres game (it was like going to a game in Canada. Crazy. :D), and liked the city as well as the campus. Only lately, I've been reading negative comments on BSC; the food is overpriced, the campus is not very safe, the school isn't non-commuter friendly, and students aren't the brightest (it's a good school, but not as good as it's counter-part, SUNY Buffalo ((they don't have the major I want)), etc.
My main issue with USC is that it's
A) 3,000 miles from home
B) I've heard people say that a lot of people with a lot of money go there, and that scene is not me (which is normal, considering it's a private school costing a ton of $$.
C) It's in LA, not my favorite city.
So, I've looked at San Jose State (too much of a commuter school), University of Central Florida (I don't know anyone in Florida), University of Nevada- Las Vegas (same as UCF), UC San Diego (not a specialized broadcast journalism major), San Diego State (too much of a party school), among others. I've considered BU (only took 1 SAT II subject test), Syracuse (way too much snow), some of the North Carolina schools ($$ and same as Florida)..But my question is, does anyone else have any other ideas of schools with good journalism programs? I'm really running low on options and starting to stress a twee. :)
