I thought I knew where to go...but now I have no idea -- HELP

<p>Thanks piegirl! Your tips are really helpful and I’m going to try to convince my family to take me to Syracuse for a visit.
mom2collegekids: I don’t plan on doing sports myself (maybe some intramurals or clubs) but going to sports events is something that I love to do. So yes, school spirit is indeed a necessity!
Yes, public relations is what I want to specifically study.
And no, the school can be almost anywhere, although I am somewhat hesitant to go anywhere very warm because health wise, I don’t handle the heat very well, and it also tends to make me very crabby! (That is the reason why I wasn’t sure about Clemson…good school but the south is a turnoff for me)
Budget wise, as cheap as possible would be the best bet. Money isn’t exactly in abundance and I would have to take out loans.</p>

<p>Currently on my list I have:
UVM
University of New Hampshire
URI
Eastern CT
(The above are pretty much my safeties)
Syracuse
Northwestern (childhood dream to go there…definitely a reach but worth a shot)</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>
