I’ll be a Medill sophomore in the fall so I’ll try and answer originality’s question. It sounds like most of you know all the good things about Medill, so I won’t mention those. Medill is a very good program at a very good school. That said, though, and I’m going to be very honest here, the times when I was most frustrated with Northwestern this year were because of Medill. Most people absolutely HATE the freshman-year journalism classes because they feel like they are very difficult and non-informative. I personally felt that sometimes the school itself was extremely poorly administered. Not gonna lie, I definitely considered dropping out of the journalism program because of these reasons, but I eventually came to my senses and thought about what a good program it was and how much I am looking forward to sophomore/junior year classes when I can pick what area of journalism I want to specialize in. Ok, I guess that’s all for me. Sorry to be so negative, there are many many great things about Medill/Northwestern, but you all seem to know about those – I wanted to focus on the negative things that only a student would know.
