Last Minute Safeties for "the list"

<p>BTW, New Englanders out there: Do you know whether BU still has their evening Master’s program in Public Relations? (I seriously considered going that route once upon a time.) If so, then maybe 23simone23 could consider something like this: UNH for undergraduate, then BU for Master’s, either in the evening program (so she could work to pay for it during the day) or in the daytime program.</p>

<p>BU has VERY strong programs in communications / public relations, so I can see why one would want to go there if one is interested in that area. But BU is soooo expensive…it might make more sense, money-wise, to go the state-school route first and <em>then</em> go to BU. A Master’s from BU in journalism or public relations would open doors for sure!</p>

<p>LadyDianeski,</p>

<p>Just curious, what year did your roommate graduate from Emmanuel, and what did they major in?</p>

<p>The school is undergoing a complete re-make. If you are interested, see this article:</p>

<p>[Emmanuel</a> College finds its angel in pharmaceutical firm - The Boston Globe](<a href=“http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2007/12/01/college_finds_its_angel/]Emmanuel”>http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2007/12/01/college_finds_its_angel/)</p>

<p>While the science programs are on their way to becoming incredible now, I’m not sure about other majors.</p>

<p>OP, don’t look down on Simmons College. It has an excellent reputation & you may be offered some merit aid. Many young women from our public school district have graduated from Simmons & have gone on to very successful careers. For some of them, it wasn’t their first choice either, but they were very happy with their outcomes! </p>

<p>Free admission to Museum of Fine Arts & reduced Red Sox tickets are a couple of perks.</p>

<p>nyquist – it was way back in the mid '70s. (Yes, I am older than dirt.)</p>

<p>Oh, and she was some sort of liberal arts major, I think.</p>

<p>Sorry for tardy response!</p>

<p>Oh my gosh, nyquist – just read the Globe piece re Emmanuel. Absolutely fascinating. I had no idea. Thank you!!</p>

<p>I’m originally from Boston (born and bred), but we’ve lived out of state for about 27 years, and I am totally out of the loop. Thanks so much for this update!</p>
