NYU or USC?

<p>yikes! i can't decide between NYU or USC (University of Southern California) for journalism. I was accepted into the Annenberg school of communications at USC, which is extremely difficult, but i haven't heard much about NYU's journalism programs. can anyone give me any advice or input on which to choose? I was also accepted into Boston University and Emory University, But NYU and USC are currently my top choices.</p>

<p>My two choices right now are NYU and USC too. I got the dean's scholarship to USC (quarter off tuition) and nothing from Stern, but i'm probably gonna stick with NYU cause of NYC and cause of Finance at Stern.</p>

<p>I'd say go with NYU cause of its location.. but socal is really nice too.</p>

<p>where are you from, and what do you plan on majoring in? i'd say that for me, a major major plus at usc is the school spirit, unity, and the football team. which makes it so hard to decide, because i LOVE new york city! i'm just concerned about the available programs, i know so little about what they offer for journalism. considering the city though, i would assume that there would be endless opportunities.</p>

<p>I've been mulling over this choice too (for film)</p>

<p>I am positive I'm going to nyu though. I just like the program better, and I'm really excited about living in NYC.
Remember at USC, you need a car or public transport to get to LA. Thats a huge downer for me.
However, there are positives and negatives to both.</p>

<p>Well, if you are having decision problems, just see which one would cost you less and how much fin aid schools are giving you...</p>

<p>i'd definitely go with nyu...</p>

<p>do you like nyc or LA better?</p>

<p>better question, do you want to have a career in LA or in NYC?</p>

<p>i'm majoring in finance, almost sure. And i hate accounting, which is what i applied for at USC bsuiness school. i think USC school only has accounting and management for undergrads. or thats what its good at.</p>

<p>USC is very good with their alumni association and connections, so you'll be pretty covered in terms of job. </p>

<p>NYU also seems to be the case, although i dont know how good they are compared to USC in this field.</p>

<p>However, my friend also got accepted to both USC (annenberg) and NYU (journalism) and she has told me that had spoken to a rep of USC, and he said that they (usc) loses a lot of their students to NYU's Journalism program. So...that might say something.</p>

<p>academics aside, socal has awesome weather, although a basically nonexistent, unreliable public transportation system. buses are always late. so...if you plan to go out to west hollywood, or just carouse about LA...it be very convenient to have a car</p>

<p>Go To Nyu!</p>

<p>GO TO NYU if u are majoring in business go to NYC it has everything, thats y i wanted to go there in the first place cause its so full of ppl and besides NYC> LA</p>

<p>NYC > LA ALL THE WAY.</p>

<p>Trust me, because I've live in LA, and I've stayed in NYC for two months</p>

<p>the transportation thing really does get me. i was just in chicago for an admitted usc students reception, and the alumni connections really impressed me. i love new york city, i'm just worried that if i go to nyu, i will be overshadowed by the majority of those who are in tisch, because that is what nyu is known for. and i still know so little about their journalism program.</p>

<p>Both schools are very similar. It depends on whether you want live in the east or west coast. Ofcourse if you got into Stern, you should definately go to NYU.</p>

<p>I am actually a west coaster, from seattle, who is having the same problem . . . i got into stern and marshall(sc business) and i have tennatively decided on stern because i want to get off of the west coast. for business especially NYC has this amazing stimulating energy . . . its really hard to explain. And there is so much to do in NYC. but all of you i feel your pain . . . i love socal. also an idea is that if you are in I banking and are in a bulge bracket firm you can always transfer to LA after a year or so</p>

<p>it’s nice to see so many people having the same preblem but this decision is getting harder by the hour. USC or NYU for journalism??? program rank or location? i really want to go to NYU but SoCal is where the family is and their program’s apparently awesome. HELP!</p>

<p>I just hate how NYU sells “New york city is your campus” bull! So many people are hypnotize by that. New York City is not all that.</p>

<p>I feel location (as in where they school is not the stlye of the campus) should not be a deciding factor.</p>

<p>PS: I was born and raise in NYC and going to NYU this. Tisch was the only school that will make stay in NYC</p>

<p>Location should definately be a deciding factor. You don’t want to live 4 years in a city you hate.</p>
