A vote for the Philip Merrill College of Journalism and University of Maryland:
As a Limited Enrollment Program with merely 600 of the university’s 40,000 undergraduate students, the competitive Philip Merrill College of Journalism takes a special interest in its students. This institution boasts a powerhouse faculty that includes seven Pulitzer Prize winners and notable editors and correspondents from media outlets like
NBC,
ABC,
CNN,
The Washington Post,
The Baltimore Sun and
ESPN. Not to mention, over the last few years, the school’s independent publication
The Diamondback has been recognized as one of the best college newspapers by The Princeton Review and The Society of Professional Journalists.
Journalism majors can chose from concentrations in either broadcast, news/editorial, or online and benefit from the program’s new home base, which features amenities such as a 24/7 “news bubble” and unrestricted access to its media equipment.
“They really want to see the students succeed,” Alexa Lardieri, a freshman, has said regarding the stellar faculty. “Everyone is very personable, and you're definitely not just a number, like at other larger schools.”

Greek life is strong with a great AXO chapter (15 chapters, AXiD colonized this past fall, chapters around 130 after spring formal recruitment, pretty houses), we're not going to talk about football, basketball is...emotional, campus is pretty (though, full disclosure, College Park is not), close to DC. However, it is a very very competitive program and applications are, since Jan 20, being considered on a rolling basis.
