NYU vs. Emerson

<p>Hi CC Community! I am a senior about to apply to NYU Early Decision, but today I looked at Emerson and honestly I'm torn between the two. There's qualities I like about both of them, and although I have physically been on both campuses and have taken the tours, I can't decide whether to pull the trigger and still apply to NYU ED or to wait and apply to both NYU and Emerson RD.</p>

<p>I am looking for a few current/recent grads from both schools to tell me what they think would be the right decision based on my priorities. I would also like objective views (no bashing) on both to help make my decision. </p>

<p>Major: Marketing Communications (PR)
Priorities: </p>

<p>-A good study abroad program (or options) (I know if you go to other schools you can still go to NYU's satellite campuses...has anyone from Emerson done this?) I want to study in multiple places, namely London and a Spanish speaking country.
-A sense of community. I am giving up the typical "college" experience for the city. Willingly so. But I want opportunities to join clubs and have friend groups of all different shapes and sizes. I was intrigued by the EVVYs and clubs at Emerson that you can be involved in even if it isn't a part of your major.
-Good communications major and internship opportunities. I realize the field is crowded and starting jobs don't pay well so I want good background and a leg up over other applicants.
-Professors that want you to succeed.
-Good dorms (preferably ones with bathrooms for personal reasons)
-Decent food.</p>

<p>Any other information would be appreciated!
Thank you all (:</p>
