<p>I'm from MN and wondering which school has a better reputation and which is better overall? I'm interested in studying Communications as my major. I also don't want to be completely in the middle of nowhere, so which is more central? Thanks!</p>
<p>I believe Syracuse is ranked higher, and I think its more highly thought of. The Newhouse Public Communications school is very prestigious and I think its your best bet.</p>
<p>Neither area is that good. Amherst is a bit out there in Western Mass, and Syracuse is not the nicest of cities.</p>
