I’m not familiar with IU’s undergraduate journalism school, but if it’s highly regarded, I would definitely suggest it over Ohio State.

Ohio State has really marginalized their undergraduate journalism program. While they have an exceptional 2 year Master’s program for working journalists called the Kiplinger Fellows, they moved that away from the journalism/communications college to the John Glenn School (public affairs).

I’m a huge supporter of Ohio State, but will be the first to admit, it shouldn’t be on anyone’s list for undergrad journalism.

Out of curiosity, since you’d be paying out-of-state to IU why no interest in Missouri? It’s not that far away, is somewhat similar to the Big Ten universities and is one of the “Big Three” J-schools (along with Northwestern and Columbia).
