<p>Hello all. I hope this is in the right place, and if not, I apologize. I'm new around here. :)</p>
<p>I'm currently going into my second year at community college in a suburb of NYC. I took several years off after a disastrous freshman year at an art school. I simply wasn't ready. Now, however, I've completely changed my program of study and I'm up to a 3.94 GPA (4.0 last semester!). I did decent enough in high school, mostly in the B range, with a 1750 on my SAT (1250 on the old system). I wanted to know if there were any schools I should be looking at.</p>
<p>I'm looking for a school with a great journalism/communications program. I'm getting my associates in communications right now, though it's mostly very basic classes. I'm not positive what I want to get into yet, though I'm leaning towards either broadcast journalism or public relations. Possibly a political science minor (I'm a politics nerd).
Cost is not an issue, though a better value is always nice.
I will be 24 when I transfer in Fall 2013.
I'd like to stick to a city area, or at the very least, close to one. Distance from New York doesn't make a difference.
During my time off I traveled and lived throughout the United States. After moving home, I worked as a manager for a restaurant for a year (still working there part time as a waiter/occasional manager).
I would really enjoy studying abroad and having access to internships.</p>
<p>Thank you all so much for your help in advance. There are some great resources here!</p>
