So I finally decided to sign up for an account because I really can’t make the decision right now. My decision has come down to BU or WUSTL. I was accepted to Boston University’s College of Communication and WUSTL’s College of arts and Science. I’m thinking of majoring in anything related to film or media, so it should be hands down BU College of Communication since it’s so top notch.
But at the same time, I only have a faint idea on what I want to major in. I’m interested in Communication but I’m not committed to it, nor do I want to have a career on only that in the future. In fact, I’ve been interested in Business for a long time, before I discovered my interest in Communication, which is why I was considering WUSTL’s Olin School. I learned that if I go into College of Communication, I’m basically gonna be stuck doing communication all four years, whereas in WUSTL, I could transfer a lot easier and double major in business and media studies.
In terms of the campus and city, I visited both in spring break and find that I like WUSTL’s campus and social vibe a lot more and everyone I’ve talked to has told me they love Wash u. And the weather there is sooo much nicer for me. But then College of Communication is so tempting since it’s such a good school to do Communication in.
Another plan I was thinking of is that I should go to wash u for undergrad, where it’s easier to double major and switch majors, since I’m still trying to explore my interests, and when it comes to grad school, I can then decide what i really wanna do and focus on it. So yeah, from what i see now, I’d be so much happier in Wash U, but BU’s College of Communication would probably help me get a better job though. I don’t know… Any opinion would be appreciated! :))
