BU's Communications Program

<p>Hi there. I’ve been researching BU for a little while, but not enough to get a completely accurate perspective. I was hoping to get some insight into their communications program. Is it very involved and hands on or more classroom oriented? How prestigious is it? Is it common for students (especially of the 5 year master’s program) to get kickass internships and jobs out of graduation? </p>

<p>I would love to be in a big city and the debt I would incur attending a school in one is becoming less of a concern for me as long as I know that the degree would get me a comfortable job (a big concern for me considering I am pursuing print journalism). In addition I think BU would offer a intellectual but still slightly quirky atmosphere, would this describe it? Any more advice any of you have would be appreciated!</p>
