Northwestern or WashU?

<p>I'm deciding between which one. </p>

<p>I recently got admitted into the Medill school of Journalism at NU, and Olin at WashU. I don't know which one to choose!</p>

<p>Pros of NU: nice campus, driven but chill people, location, slightly bigger name, proximity to home is better, sports/school spirit
Cons: weather, quarter system </p>

<p>Pros of WashU: even nicer quality campus, food, driven but chill people, offered a bit more money, everyone there seems very nice (professors esp)
Cons: location isnt as good as NU, not much about sports</p>

<p>I like business, but for me straight up business would be bland. My strength is writing, and I like being involved with journalism somehow. I guess I was thinking to go to Public Relations, a combo of the two. If I went to Northwestern, I would minor in econ or get a Kellogg certificate. For WashU, I would study business and write for the paper. </p>

<p>A factor that I also want to take into account is how successful I would be out of college--journalism is certainly not a dying industry if I take the integrated marketing communications and I enjoy it-- but the parents are paying a lot so success is pretty important to me too. </p>

<p>Most people have been saying NU. But do tell me what you guys think! Thanks so much.</p>

<p>Individually each school has a lot to offer and both are very academically rigorous. Is there a large difference in price?
In regard to you major, internships can be vital in securing a job post graduation. Chicago may have more to offer than St. Louis. Also the major + minor combinations sounds more marketable in my opinion.</p>
