<p>Is it easy to switch majors within the Communications school?</p>
<p>Does anyone know the rankings for top undergraduate communication schools? </p>
<p>Syracuse with a lot of money, or Northwestern with some money? – or Cornell with a decent amount of money?</p>
<p>and for the second part i meant which one should i go to?</p>
<p>I got into the radio/tv/film at SOC and am very excited! I also got accepted at Middlebury and Vassar, which will make my decision much more difficult. Would I be crazy to turn down this offer at NU for one of the other schools?? I really want to do film and then maybe business someday. I feel like I would be foolish turning down NU with all of the alumni that get big coming out of there… any views?</p>
<p>I posed the same question on the Cornell forum. Here’s how they responded:

Any thoughts?</p>
<p>If you are planning to go to a law school anyway, just consider the school that’s known for what you are interested in or the one that fits you the best. I am pretty sure Northwestern offers more in comm studies. After all, Northwestern has a communications <em>school</em>, not just department. Look at the description of courses and confirm.</p>
<p>EDIT: I just saw your earlier post. I don’t buy that “difference in structure” claim. Cornell has specialized schools like hotel admin or architecture. It’s just communications isn’t one of them. I think you overanalyzed and idealized Cornell a bit too much. This is like saying UChicago’s film is just as good as USC’s or Northwestern’s international studies is as good as Georgetown’s SFS because it’s just structural difference.</p>
<p>By drop, do you mean get a 3.5? Very possible.</p>
<p>In my opinion, you do have to work hard, but it’s very possible to get that and still have a good social life/free time to do other things.</p>
