<p>I know Purchase is great for performing arts, but is it also good for communications/journalism. I want to major in either communications for journalism and then minor in drama. I really like Purchase for it's location and campus, but is it worth it??</p>
<p>I’m a current Purchase student and I absolutely love the school- even though I am not in a performing/visual arts program. All of our programs give students practical knowledge in their area of study through hands-on learning experiences. For instance, as a psychology major, I’ve been conducting guided experiments in several of my courses since sophomore year. Journalism majors are very active in writing articles on topics which interest them most, and usually involve interviews with various recording devices. Purchase is an amazing school with an incredibly unique student body, not to mention ideal location and beautiful campus. I would say that it is absolutely worth it, and given the chance to go back and choose a school again, I would choose Purchase every time. I hope this helped!</p>
