Northwestern SoC or USC Annenberg?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I have been fortunate enough to be accepted into both Northwestern School of Communication (Radio/Television/Film major) and USC Annenberg School of Communication & Journalism (Communication major). </p>

<p>I wanted to ask your opinion on which school would offer a better curriculum or program. I have read dozens of pages regarding both schools and its majors. I also want to ask about internship and co-curricular activities. I understand that USC has stellar alumni network and connection since it is located in Los Angeles. However, Northwestern is more "prestigious" in terms of its reputation and ranking. </p>

<p>Please let me know your thoughts! Anything will be helpful! Thank you!</p>

<p>I’m going to have to give the advice I give on pretty much every thread like this. Which school do you like better? Different weather, two very different cities, double the amount of undergrads, etc.</p>

<p>The issue is this – I prefer Northwestern’s campus and reputation; but I prefer USC’s communication program and courses.</p>

<p>Why do you prefer USC’s communication program and courses? Because it’s in LA? Northwestern’s RTF program is possibly the best. And reputation doesn’t matter, especially not between these two.</p>

<p>Really need to know your long term goals in RTF/comm to help.</p>

<p>I want to work as a television or film producer in the future.</p>
