I know this has been done to death but I need help with choosing! I’m undeclared but want something to do with music/entertainment management or journalism. Some Background:
NYU- I got into it’s Core Program in Liberal Studies and would agree to attend in London for my Freshman Year if I went (Undeclared in College of Arts and Science). I looove the idea of studying in London for my 1st year but I’m not a fan of the price (although it isn’t a huge issue) and also I’m starting to think I might like Business management at Stern better but it ways in my admission i’d have to “declare a major in the College of Arts and Science or have the option of applying to another school or college at NYU.” which means apply from scratch to Stern? I’m worried.
Berkeley- From what I’ve heard it’s the best of the three and the best salary. It sounds like absolute hell though when friends that go there describe it, everyone’s pasty and busy and competitive and has no life. Not working off of stereotypes here, just facts. One of my friends graduated top of my class and went on to Berkeley business but had a mental breakdown, dropped out and became a weed smoking hippie who gives children karate lessons for a living… My other friend that goes there, well, he’s a loser and an ass. I’m only including it because of prestige really, I want to make a comfortable salary when I graduate, it’s very very VERY important to me. (College of Letters and Science… also an issue because I’m considering Business)
UCLA- Love the area. Love the people. But they don’t have an undergrad Business?! I’d love to attend ucla but that’s a big con, or am I just making it a big deal?! (Undeclared-Social Sciences)
Also I’d like to point out UCLA and Berkeley would be a LOT cheaper for me because of in state tuition.
