I’d eliminate Cornell - as it’s in the middle of nowhere. Evanston is suburban but access to urban which is clearly what you want.

Assuming costs are similar or an issue, I’d go to Nwestern every day of the week over Berkeley. It’s smaller, going to be more personal and better funded. Then you can study journalism although I’d make sure to research if that is true (if you weren’t directly admitted).

Since you mentioned pedigree (with Cornell) - Nwestern is arguably the most prestigious of the three. That doesn’t get you anything…but since it matters to you.

Good luck.
