<p>I do have financial need but I am okay with loans if the school is good enough. Bu as in Boston? @Ctesiphon </p>
<p>Yes, as in Boston University.</p>
<p>I don’t think that is a good mindset - taking out loans to cover the full cost. You are going into a field that is not very lucrative. Broadcast journalism majors typically do not make very much money and the chances are slim you will “make it big” even from a ‘big-name’ school. </p>
<p>What’s your family’s yearly income? Keep in mind that outside of the 5.5k/yr Federal loans the first two years, and 7.5k/yr loans second two years, you will have to take them out through a third party with your parents cosigning. </p>
<p>My family’s yearly income is 130k. What is south Carolina’s broadcast journalism like in comparison to the top schools? UF vs USC ? @Ctesiphon </p>
<p>I don’t know much about the programs at those particular schools, unfortunately.</p>
<p>With 130k income you prob won’t be getting much aid at privates. You are instate for south carolina correct? If so, USC is probably your best bet !</p>
<p>Nope I live in Florida… @Ctesiphon </p>
<p>I don’t know “how good” USC’s Broadcast Journalism is - not sure if there are rankings or not. I do know two kids that are in the program and like it. They both had similar GPA to yours and had over 30’s on their ACT’s - so smart kids. One is in Honors and one is on Capstone. </p>
<p>UF has a very good Broadcast Journalism program. Since it’s in-state, you should apply. </p>
