<p>I’ve been accepted to both NYU and BU and will be majoring in Communications. The problem is, I really can’t decide where to go! Are there any pros or cons to either university for their communications programs??</p>
<p>NYU for sure.. you're in the heart of everything and its a better school.</p>
<p>When you say Communications, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean communications studies? It's a question because the schools arrange things differently. NYU has communications in a different school than journalism - and I don't know how that works but it doesn't directly connect as far as I know to a concentration possibility in advertising or PR so the approaches seem different.</p>
<p>it depends what specific area of communications.</p>
<p>at BU COM, u can take a few general communications courses, then specialize in an area, like film, tv, journalism, broadcast journalism, photo journalism, advertising, public relations, and mass communications.</p>
<p>at NYU's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, communications is only offered as a broad topic, which can be a good or bad thing, depending on what u want. it's not even a school in itself, as the communications program is buried amongst "culture, education, and human development" programs.</p>
<p>BU's COM school is recognized as one of the best in the world, while i never hear anything about NYU's communications programs.</p>
<p>i think the only exception is if you're studying film/tv and u were accepted into NYU Tisch. tisch is a lot more renowned as a film school than BU is.</p>
<p>and remember it's not all about academics too. visit each campus and learn more about each university. see which one is a better fit for u, and then weigh each one's academics with their university life to figure out where u wanna go.</p>
