<p>I've just been accepted to both schools and I've been debating which one is better for me. I live just outside of Philly so Penn is really close to home and I like the city, but most people seem to prefer Chicago/Evanston. At both schools, I'd likely be an Econ major, but at NU I might double major in Radio/TV/Film, whereas Penn I would consider PPE. </p>

<p>Most of the threads I've seen on here seem to point out more similarities than differences between these two schools. Cost is about the same between the two so that's not a major consideration. Can anyone help me pick which school to choose?</p>

In a word, no. :)</p>

<p>Between these two schools (and cities), it’s really a matter of personal preference and fit. Both are excellent, and you really can’t go wrong either way.</p>

<p>Be aware, however, that at Penn you could double major in Communications through the Annenberg School for Communication, although your degree would still be from CAS. Perhaps not comparable to what you’d be looking for as an RTF major at Northwestern, but it does provide the academic dimension of Communications from an eminent Communications school.</p>
