I have been accepted to (graduate school) both schools. Emerson College is giving me a fellowship and I have 2 private scholarships. For northeastern, I have 3 scholarships. I am a first generation students and I am freaking out on which choice is the best. For Emerson i have been accepted to the Global marketing communications and advertising program (MFA) and for northeastern, I have been accepted to the Master of Science in Organizational Communication. Please I really really need advice. I do feel northeastern is a more serious school though.
You might get more informed comments in the Graduate School forum.
Make sure to visit and put in the research on what’s better for you–both are very reputable universities, but in the end, it’s what’s best for YOU. (PERSONALLY, I would chose Northeastern–I agree with you that it is a more serious school).
Northeastern program is in their College of Professional Studies, not in the Communications dept. Go to Emerson with all of that aid. Unless the size of those grants are small, no contest.
