Emerson, Boston, Northeastern

<p>Which would you say is the "better" university of the 3 (especially for Journalism)? Which one is easier to get into? All 3 are very expensive...so which is "better" when it comes to financial aid/scholarships. Also, I hear that Emerson doesnt even really have a campus. Is that true?</p>

<p>I'm going to assume you're talking about Boston University, not Boston College?</p>

<p>yea, Boston University.</p>

<p>bump bump..</p>

<p>For journalism, Emerson, that's their specialty.</p>

<p>BU's College of Communication is excellent and the students have won many awards in national competitions. If your stats are good, BU is generous with merit aid, including many half-tuition scholarships. </p>

<p>Freshmen merit scholarships:

<p>Emerson is definitely an urban campus. The classrooms and dorms are part of the city blocks. BU stretches along Commonwealth Avenue and there are parts of the college that have a more traditional campus feel, with grassy areas and a student union.</p>

<p>Santo, have you visited these schools? All are so very different with such a different feel. All that really matters is the one you like best once you visit, not one that other people think is the best. It's all so subjective.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info guys.</p>

<p>Do yall know which has a higher acceptance rate?</p>

<p>CB does! :)</p>
