<p>I’m currently enrolled at Syracuse and am Considering transferring to BU (it is one of my three choices). I know that their journalism program won’t be as great and well known as Syracuse’s, but I’m wondering how it is. This is for undergraduate journalism, and I would probably go into the news/editorial track. I’m just wondering how decent their Journalism program is.</p>
<p>Also, how is the campus like?</p>
<p>Anyone? Please respond if you can...</p>
<p>lol maybe its just me but i didn't even know syracuse had a journalism program
a girl i knew of at bu was a journalism major and, out of thousands of applicants, won an internship with fall out boy and went on warped tour with them for 3 weeks, reporting and such. howard stern also came from COM lol. BU has one of the best schools of communication in the country (though I am not in it) and has always been very reputable.</p>
<p>Syracuse is a top j-school. Why do you want to transfer?</p>
<p>BU is also a top journalism school.</p>
<p>Of course I know that. It's just unusual for someone to transfer from one great j-school to another. Maybe the OP hates the city of Syracuse, the weather, whatever.</p>
<p>Because I'm not exactly happy here. It's not so much the school, and the weather it's the problem (though it isn't exactly helping) but I just feel like I don't fit in with my peers. That kind of stuff.</p>
<p>I am coming at this from a unique perspective. I understand why you do not want to remain at Syracuse. My son went there for a year and-a-half and could not wait to leave. Yes, there is tons of snow, but there is definitely a Syracuse "type" and he fell into a downward spiral trying to fit in. He felt he was - and is - better off at a school where the entire social life does not revolve around partying. Cities offer more, and there is more room for disparate types to find their niches.</p>
<p>Having said that, I am also a graduate of the BU Journalism program in the College of Communication. At the time I enrolled, BU was far and away the better program, and from what I see and read, that is still the case. There is more opportunity to intern, to be taught by working professionals in the field, and to find students with strong journalistic ethics dedicated to more than P.R.</p>
<p>And... it is easier to get home, or visit friends, from Boston than from Syracuse. That ride upstate gets old, especially in winter.</p>
