<p>Please help! I dont know which is better… I want to major in something like creative writing or english, or even journalism.</p>
<p>I am accepted in both of them, so what should I do? :D</p>
<p>Have you visited both campuses? Did you prefer the city setting or the suburban one? A big school or a smaller one?</p>
<p>I know Brandeis has an amazing creative writing program, and it’s English program is very strong. </p>
<p>If you want a campus, Brandeis is your choice. </p>
<p>If you want to be in the middle of a city without a uniformed campus, NYU is your choice.</p>
<p>D was in the same position 4 years ago. She is now a junior at NYU and very happy with her decision.</p>
<p>HOWEVER, I do think that if she had decided on Brandeis, she would have made the “right” choice, too.</p>
<p>The one thing I would probably look into, though, is internship opportunities in both schools. Being right in the city, D has been able to intern during breaks in her schedule and has built up a great resume. She has gone to a 9 am class, shot over to her internship at 11:00 and has returned to NYU for a 4pm lecture.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>Also, since you’re interested in English, here’s an interesting Newsweek article about great professors featuring Brandeis Literature Professor William Flesch:</p>
<p>[Four</a> Great College Professors - Newsweek](<a href=“Four Great College Professors”>Four Great College Professors)</p>
<p>Academically, you really can’t make a mistake–both are fine schools and you can obtain a great education at either.</p>
<p>Culturally, they are very different. NYU is large, urban and has little sense of community. The community is the Village, and if you absolutely live and breath Manhattan–you will love NYU.</p>
<p>Brandeis is small (for a research university), suburban (but only 9 miles from Boston), and is all about community. It will be much more of a traditional college experience.</p>
<p>Frankly, its silly to argue about “which is better.” They are both good–you have to decide which is a better fit for you.</p>
<p>I have to make the same decision lolz</p>
<p>You do?!?!?! Let me know which one you choose and why! 
Maybe we’ll end up in the same place…</p>
<p>Brandeis vs NYU</p>
<p>I think it comes down to City School (New York City) vs Suburban – Campus, etc.</p>
