I know next to nothing about NYU, but I can give some input on UVA!

You apply to the comm school your second year. I believe it’s quite competitive, so you’ll want to have some sort of fallback in the event you are not accepted (many end up majoring in econ). If you’re thinking about physics, that would definitely be doable at UVA while also taking econ classes if you decide you’re still interested in business after taking the prereqs.

Charlottesville actually has a pretty good music scene! I’m not exactly sure what type of music you’re into, but there are many concerts held on grounds, with larger concerts at John Paul Jones arena. Lady Gaga was here last fall as well as Muse. Also, there’s the Jefferson theater and the Charlottesville pavilion which have frequent concerts.

The party scene here is good as well, there are many frat parties as well as apartment/house parties if you’re interested in going out.

I hope this helps!
