USC (Annenberg) vs Northwestern (Medill) vs UCLA vs UC Berkeley

<p>Here is some information about me: </p>

<p>I am thinking about going the communications/journalism route with possible minor/emphasis in economics or business or statistics. I can see myself doing marketing in the future..but I'm not totally decided on a particular major or career path, though, so I prefer a school that is strong across-the-board academically.</p>

<p>Majors at individual schools: USC (Communications), Northwestern (Journalism), UCLA (Undecided Social Sciences), UC Berkeley (Undecided College of Letters and Science)</p>

<p>I am leaning toward the private schools, although my going to one is very contingent upon financial issues. The UC's, as it currently seems, look much more affordable.</p>
