NYU vs. UCSD for Mass Media & Communication.

[stressed0ut]

<p>NYU cost: $48,000
UCSD cost: $40,000 (out of state)</p>

<p>*NYU Pros: *
- Great internship opportunities for a communication major (CNN, MTV, etc)
- Great business school (I plan to some basic courses in Stern)
- Very urbanized and culturally diverse
- Decent social life in the city
- Only 6 hours driving distance from home</p>

<p>Cons:
- East Coast weather
- High level of stress of living in NY</p>

<p>UCSD Pros:
- I'm in love with the so cal atmosphere!
- Fantastic weather
- Nicer/more relaxed people
- Secluded enough for me to concentrate on my studies
- Close enough to LA/Mexico to have fun</p>

<p>UCSD Cons:
- Not strong of a communication school as NYU?
- Not as academically prestigious of a school as NYU?
- Not known for business
- Not many opportunities for internships</p>

<p>Please give me suggestions and feel free to disagree with me! :)
Financial differences is not too big of an issue.. </p>

<p>Please do tell me more about UCSD</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I believe you answered your own question already - NYU easily.</p>

<p>Considering you're paying OOS tuition to go to UCSD, and NYU is more prestigious regarding journalism/arts/social studies, what is $8,000 going to matter?</p>

<p>Plus, NYU social life/college experience will be more rewarding and fun - you're in New York City for crying out loud. :)</p>
