<p>I currently attend my hometown community college. I want to transfer for media and communication studies. I've recently visited five schools:</p>
<p>Towson -- The communication program here seems good (although I don't really know) and it's not too small but not too big either. But the campus felt spread out, and I'm not sure how safe the surrounding area is.</p>
<p>U Maryland Baltimore County -- The college has a nice layout and it's academics are good, but I didn't like Catonsville.</p>
<p>Shenandoah -- This has a good program and the Shenandoah Valley is beautiful, but Winchester is kinda far out.</p>
<p>Hood -- Frederick is a nice town (for the most part), but I wonder if the other schools are better.</p>
<p>Shippensburg -- didn't really impress me but maybe I'm missing something.</p>
<p>I've also visited (but not recently) Shepherd, College Park, and Frostburg. Shepherd is too close, CP is too big and doesn't really have what I want and Frostburg is too far away from anything.</p>
<p>I want to know what school has the best communication program and what you people think about these schools. Are there any other schools within 2 hours of me that I should look at? (I haven't looked at McDaniel or Stevenson)</p>
