Hey all! I am stuck deciding between UC Davis or Cal State Northridge (as a CC transfer student) for Communications. I realize that UCs are geared for research whereas Cal States are more “hands on” and application based. Does anyone have an opinion as to which school has a better Comm program? The main reason I’m considering Northridge is because I’m currently living in Los Angeles, and let’s face it…moving 7 hours away requires some serious thought. I want to get the best education possible, and I’m not 100% sure if I want to go to grad school, but it’s something I’m considering. What do you guys think, or which would you choose?
CSUN is known for the connections it offers its business students. Depends on what you want to do with that comms degree. If you’re contemplating grad school you could either take the safe route and go straight to a UC, or keep your options open and get a 4 yr degeee, then go to a UC for a grad degree
In the abstract, Davis is a better school - but, we don’t live in the abstract. The best school for you is the one you will make the most of. If you have spent time on both campuses, pick the one where you think you fit. If you haven’t spent time at Davis, you need to hop on I5 this week and check it out. It is a cool college town but, it ain’t for everybody. if you like the place and are looking for a change - why not? If it isn’t for you, head to Northrdge with no regrets
