Sorry, this will be a little long.
First off, obviously I want to major in Journalism (probably add a second major -Public relations or media).
My main problem is that most normal public or private 4 year universities have general education requirements and I HATE MATH. I get Straight A’s in math class but I hate it and I also take private lessons in math. I really don’t think I can take math in college - especially that I feel that Precalculus is difficult (even though I have help from my tutor) - so the idea of taking precalculus and Calculus is very scary (especially that I can’t afford a private tutor during college)

So here are my to the point questions:

1- In my case is a liberal arts college better for me?

2- how important is ACEJMC accreditation? (none of the liberal arts colleges are accredited)

3- will I have similar opportunities in a liberal arts college?

4- please list the pros and cons and suggest some good LAC for journalism

–I can’t pay more than $30k a year (excluding dorms, living expenses, etc…)

Ps. I am good in Algebra and geometry. And I don’t know if I am bad at math or is it the teacher (we had the same teacher for 2 years - before he started teaching us I actually liked math -I could be wrong it may be bcz the difficulty level increased)
