NYU CRC vs. Columbia

[elweezer]

These programs are very different, and the NYU one seems like it was made for me. However, I already do that kind of writing (not to say that the program wouldn't improve my writing, because it undoubtedly would), and I feel like I might learn more at Columbia in terms of actual reporting. The idea of NYU sounds 'fun' to me, and I really want to go, but there's just the name attached with Columbia that makes it hard to pass up.

Does anyone know ANYONE in CRC who I could get in contact with to ask for a rundown on student life?

I am desperate here, as I need to decide soon!

Just saw this, sorry. I was in CRC and you can send me an email if you're still interested.

Caffeinated, I've also been considering applying to this program. I'm a working reporter in NYC so have some reservations about potential career advancement there. Could I email you?
