Help Me Find My Perfect Fit

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I'm pretty far along the college search now, but I before it is too late, I want to make sure that I haven't missed out on any schools that would be right for me. My only requirement is that the college is in the Mid-Atlantic (or very close to being so). Here are some attributes I'm looking for:</p>

<p>-A quality Journalism*, International Studies, Anthropology and/or Political Science program.
*I've had a really hard time finding colleges with decent journalism programs...many have a Journalism I, Journalism II and that's it. I want specialization and new media instruction.
-A decent school newspaper and literary magazine
-research opportunities for undergraduates
-in an area with plentiful internships AND the ability to start internships early (I don't want to wait until senior year!)
-A good study abroad program (and preferably with little or no extra cost)
-An active, approachable student body
-Good financial and/or merit aid
-a wide selection of extra-curriculars (I'm interested in Debate, Model UN, creative groups and volunteer/advocacy organizations)</p>

<p>Columbia and Northwestern I think have most of those. USC also has most of what you want but obviously its still behind the former twos prestige. But it definitely has tons of internship opportunities, and the school has a huge international emphasis, study abroad is trademark of USC. The ECs are really too much to comprehend</p>
