<p>Hi everyone!
I've been excepted to both S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse & the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou) School of Journalism...now I need to pick which one to go to...so please read and help me out!</p>

<p>Newhouse:
Very pretty & historic campus. I want to be a sportscaster and the school is strongly connected to ESPN, or so it seems as tons of their alumni work there. That would be my main reason for going. Newhouse has 98% student placement after grad. I've heard the winters are very harsh and long and that the students tend to be snobby. Syracuse, and especially Newhouse, is a more accredited/higher ranked university than Mizzou, though.</p>

<p>Mizzou:
Pretty campus as well, not as historic looking as Syracuse. One of, if not THE, best journalism program in the nation. High job placement following grad. as well, not sure if it's as high as Newhouse though. People seem much nicer and relaxed at Mizzou. Ideal college town. I love the Midwest/Southern feel, I'm a southern girl trapped in a California girls life :) My worry is their high admission rate and connections. Are there sports broadcast connections nearly as good as Newhouse's?</p>

<p>Where should I go?!</p>

<p>Personally I’d go with Newhouse, given how important it is to sports broadcasting (as in pro athletes sometimes go to Newhouse so they can get into broadcasting). I have an acquantaince I used to know as we both were amateur sportswriters, and he is currently at Missouri’s sports journalism program.</p>

<p>Definitely Syracuse - Newhouse is the best of its kind.</p>

<p>I would think connections, internship, and research opportunities are a vital part of college. So I think Newhouse would give you the best opportunities, since it is strongly connected to ESPN.</p>
