<p>The 2nd group of schools is definitely better, so I'll look at them.<br>
Syracuse is a good school, but it's way out in the middle of NY. I've been there a couple times, and there is not a whole lot going on. Unless you're majoring in journalism, I would definitely not go there. Pepperdine and USD are both similar schools, but I'd personally prefer USD because it's by a big city.</p>
<p>Yah I think out of the second group, I like USD the best. I love Pepperdine, but USD is a larger school, in the city, and seems less strict and more fun. Syracuse sounds pretty fun, but I would probably get sick of the city and weather.</p>
<p>Also USD has early action.... and I don't want to apply to any schools later than the UC/CSU deadline.</p>
<p>Thanks....</p>
<p>How about Indiana University vs. Arizona State</p>
