I was accepted into the journalism program at both Boston University and Newhouse at Syracuse. At NYU, however, I was denied from the journalism and was accepted into the liberal studies program.

NYU has been my dream school since I was little and it never changed. However, journalism has always been my dream job (I’ve interned at a local newspaper, I’m editor of my school newspaper and have been a part of it since freshman year). I think liberal studies could be a great option for students not sure in what they want to major in, but I absolutely 100% sure that I want to do journalism. I’m definitely a city girl and not sure if the location of Syracuse is right for me, but i’m not sure if Boston University’s journalism program is up to par with NYU’s and Syracuse’s.

Money aside (I will be receiving little to no financial aid from the schools anyways), what is the better option for me? Also, if I do attend NYU for the liberal studies program, will I still be able to graduate in four years?
