<p>over UCLA. Btw, I have not even been admitted to UCLA comm. yet. The major is only open to juniors and seniors.</p>
<p>So anyone have an opinion? </p>
<p>I want to major in Communication Studies and to go into Hollywood (making films). </p>
<p>UCLA
Pros
-Nice campus/ surrounding area
-Cheap: $25,000/ year (in state)
Cons
-I have not yet been admitted to the Comm. studies major, which is only open to juniors and seniors. Admissions is competitive (must maintain 3.85 gpa).
-Comm. studies is an interdisciplinary major (no department = weaker)
-No automatic internships and job hookups </p>
<p>USC
Pros
-Communication department is top notch (already admitted)
-Will be able to double major or minor in film or business
-Hollywood connections
-Easy to earn internships
Cons
-The campus/ surrounding area isn't too appealing
-Expensive: $39,000/ year <--- biggest concern</p>
<p>go to USC. you'll have more resources, a chance to get involved in communications (and get your foot in the door earlier), and fantastic alumni connections.</p>
<p>hope that helps! check out their websites (both usc's and ucla's) to read up more on the departments.
i'm a journalism major (print), who's planning on attending annenberg this yr</p>
