If your daughter was accepted to Medill, then she’s presumably pretty invested in journalism. Medill is one of the best if not the best journalism schools in the US and it is relatively easy to double major across schools as well as to switch out of Medill if she doesn’t like it. Columbia, as others have mentioned doesn’t have a journalism school. NU’s is the only top ten university with an undergrad Journalism degree. If your daughter wants out of Texas, the future earnings potential from NU and Columbia are worth far more than the added cost if you can cover it in the short-term.
