Yeah, for those looking at Journalism, look at Missouri. One of the top Journalism schools around, and, IIRC, it's pretty cheap for an out of state school. Also IIRC, someone from this board went there last year, can't remember who though. They can probably shed some light on Mizzou.
I'm not sure how hard it is to get into Mizzou's Journalism program though. I thought that you can get into it as long as you are regularly accepted, but I might be wrong.
