<p>Syracuse is sweet at Comm.</p>

3

<p>I second Syracuse, first thing that came to mind.</p>

4

<p>Syracuse might be a bit too big for me.
I’ll look into it though, thanks.</p>

<p>Any others?</p>

5

<p>Northwestern’s comm program is top notch</p>

6

<p>Ithaca, if you don’t mind the cold, good communications and fabulous music. fairly small school i guess, but the town of ithaca is fabulous.</p>

<p>The offerings of music programs vary from school to school…you looking for vocal? strings? band? marching band? that’ll influence your options a lot.</p>

7

<p>How about Emerson?? Don’t know about there music program though…</p>

8

<p>Ummmm…at this point in the calendar, if you’re a senior, whatever app you can complete on time will be a blessing. Please say you’re only an 11th grader…</p>

<p>DEFINITELY FORDHAM… Great education, great professors, they have Music and Communications majors AND you can study at a traditional campus with Dorms at Rose Hill or/and at the Lincoln Center site, which is in the middle of Manhattan, the Media/Music capital of the world.</p>

<p>Also..why anyone would rather be in Syracuse or Ithaca over NYC when you are interested in Com. and Music, is beyond me,lol… </p>

<p>Fordham has become much more selective recently, accepting about 46%, with an average UW GPA of 3.7 for incoming Freshmen…so this school would be a match and it’s got very good programs for what you are looking for…it’s not a big school either…only about 7,000 total undergrads..</p>

<p>Between acceptances at Fordham and NYU…I decided on NYU myself for this spring, but I visted Fordham several times, have friends there and almost decided to go there but for my interests, Writing and Film, NYU had an edge in programs…but I actually think I would have preferred, on an emotional level, to attend Fordham..Check it out..</p>

<p>[Music</a> Major & Minor > Art History & Music > Fordham University](<a href=“http://www.fordham.edu/art_hist_music/music_major.shtml]Music”>http://www.fordham.edu/art_hist_music/music_major.shtml)</p>

<p>[Communication</a> and Media Studies](<a href=“http://www.fordham.edu/academics/programs_at_fordham_/communication_and_me/index.asp]Communication”>http://www.fordham.edu/academics/programs_at_fordham_/communication_and_me/index.asp)</p>

<p>Also look at Quinnipiac, Hofstra and Adelphi.</p>

11

<p>Second the suggestion of Emerson. Maybe Bard?</p>

12

<p>Marist College in Poughkeepsie has a good communications program within its School of Communication and the Arts. Marist is not too large (4,200 undergraduates) and approximately 75% of the students live on campus. The campus looks out on the Hudson River about 1 mile north of the MetroNorth station, which makes NYC, via Penn Station, very accessible. Your stats suggest that Marist would be a good match.</p>

13

<p>Oooh yeah, Bill O’Reilly went to Marist, and he got pretty far in the journalism world :wink: Although not positive if to you comm is the same as journalism, but whatever hehe.</p>

<p>Plus, the campus is nice.</p>

<p>Boston Univesity.</p>
