I got into [NYU] Liberal studies core spring start, and I just got off the waitlist for BU Com also spring start
No financial aid from either but money is not something my parents want me to consider nor is it an issue- so I just want to pick the best choice for me and my future success.
I am from southern California and am excited to try living in a city on the east coast, (although I will miss the good weather and beaches here…)
I’m not 100% sure what I want to major in. I think it would be cool to make doumentaries for a living because I love journalism and film. At the same time, being financially secure is important to me and NYU’s LS Core gives me the flexibility to transition to business or a more lucrative major if I change my mind. And BU COM seems to have a lot of general courses related to journalism and film, not sure about the flexibility to switch majors, but I know it is renowned for its communications course.
My preferences for college are thus: mid size, (ideally good weather at least sometimes- which ik is tough at both), cool people (I have been told I give [nyu] student vibe/would blend in there). Not interested in greek life, good intramural sport opportunities, fun things to do, good teachers, academic. Small class sizes, and I again, really want to have fun and cool things to do.
I have toured both schools and actually did a 3 week program at BU over the summer. To be honest, I wasn’t impressed with BU’s campus and I was in the warren tower dorms which I think are the worst ones so that’s probably why. However, both schools are similar with the integrated campuses and being in the heart of a city.
I’m also so excited to have gotten into both of these schools! Please let me know what you think.
