<p>My son is trying to decide between UD Honors Program, UMd and Syracuse (dual program of Newhouse Communications and Arts and Science). He also is considering UConn, but the first three are his top choices. He is not sure of a major, although he toys with something in the area of communication. At times, he has said he wants to go south, but the dual program at Syracuse is very enticing. I believe he leans towards Delaware and Syracuse because of size, but he has not ruled out Maryland. He does want to be in a school with good academics, wants school spirit, and is not a big partier.</p>

<p>If anyone could help with pros, cons or any other considerations/advice, it would be appreciated. This is my second son going through the process and I remember how hard decision time was the first go-around.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>i was also accepted into the dual program of newhouse and arts & sciences, and even though i haven’t definitely decided yet (still waiting for some april 1st decisions), i think that it’s a very unique opportunity that only syracuse can offer. after all, newhouse is one of the top communications schools in the country, and the dual enrollment program is even more difficult to get into. i don’t really know how UD’s program stacks up in comparison, but i know that i wasn’t really crazy about it when i visited.</p>
