Emerson or Skidmore? Help!

<p>I want to major in English lit and pursue Journalism in the future, but I'm having a tough time deciding which school would suit me better. I'm coming from Hong Kong, so I'm used to a big city, but I love the idea of a liberal arts education. I got into Emerson's honors program for Print and Multimedia journalism, with a half-tuition scholarship. I have a 7000 scholarship from Skidmore, including work/study, but it is still very expensive. My parents are urging me to choose Emerson because of the scholarship, but Skidmore seems to have the curriculum that I want. I would like some honest opinions about these schools and their programs!</p>
