<p>I visited Syracuse and loved it, but I want to get an opinion on whether I'd be better off going to USC or Syracuse for broadcast journalism, specifically in the sports or entertainment area or news anchoring. I plan on applying ED to Syracuse since Newhouse is so competitive, but I want to be sure.</p>
