<p>I'm seriously considering USC, Syracuse, and NYU, and have an idea that I could get into all three... but what are other good communications schools?</p>
<p>BU is # 1 for communications</p>
<p>Do you mean "communication studies", "communication science and disorder", or "journalism"? Anyway, Northwestern is good for all of them. :)</p>
<p>I was also going to apply there, but I didn't realize that it was number one. Have you seen a list around of the rankings? I didn't know that.</p>
<p>Communications studies. Media. I'm going to apply to Northwestern but I probably won't get in. Maybe my being a URM will help.</p>
<p>I doubt BU is #1 in communications because I haven't really seen any official ranking for communications before.</p>
<p>Hm, yeah, I agree. I haven't either.</p>
<p>And since you seem like a knowledgeable person, Sam Lee, I'm curious about your opinion. I would say that I would most likely get accepted to both USC and Syracuse. (Though Northwestern is awesome, once again, it's not likely that I would be accepted.) </p>
<p>In the event that I did get accepted to both schools, which would you suggest I choose? My dream is to attend USC but I know that Syracuse is great too for communications. Pros for USC include the fact that I would like to stay near home, they have an entertainment focus option, it's in LA and I would like to do something involving the entertainment biz, and I just like the rich, real college-y vibe of the whole school if that makes any sense. Syracuse, on the other hand, has very specific majors, like advertising. </p>
<p>What do you think, if you have an opinion at all?</p>
<p>And by "rich," BTW, I don't mean wealthy, haha. I mean... well, you probably know what I mean.</p>
<p>My guess is USC if you want to work in LA. But I am not in this field.</p>
<p>Since you mention advertising, check out IMC certificate. Medill</a> - IMC Undergraduate Certificate
Even if you are not in the journalism school (e.g. communications school), you can still apply during the sophomore year.</p>
<p>I've heard Emerson is good if you're willing to look at smaller ones.</p>
<p>Wisconsin has one of the best--especially for comm theory and film studies.</p>
<p>UT Austin has the nation's most comprehensive college of communications.</p>
