Currently deciding whether to transfer from my current college, Berklee College of Music to either USC or NYU. I have decided to leave Berklee to receive a broader education in media and communications with the intention to pursue a career in music industry (plus other entertainment industries). I have been accepted to NYU Steinhardt for the Media Culture and Communication major. I would begin at NYU Paris in the MCC Paris Program in the fall. I applied to USC Dornsife to be an American Popular Culture Studies major. I intend to apply to be a music industry minor at Thornton. My major concerns with USC is with the transfer student social life because housing is not guaranteed and I’m not sure how I could be properly integrated into the community with moving across the country knowing no one. How will I find my “people” and housing? At NYU I know we are a small group who will be in Paris and we all live in the same building and our classrooms are all in one bldg. I know NYC very well and family there. But I do think having a campus in sunny LA would be fun. Please help.
