College Suggestions
Answered

Hi, I've been looking at possible colleges to go to, however, I feel at a stump on where to go next. I'm only a freshman so I have lots of time, but I still would like to have colleges in mind. So far, I'd like to major in Criminal Justice or Law, Film, or Psychology. Currently, my top choice is UW-Madison, but I'm very open to others. I'd like if it wasn't too "easy" to apply to, but it's okay possibly. Thank you for the help!

Hi, @caleigh!

To start with film, I've heard Syracuse University has a great program, as well as New York University or the University of Southern California (also UC Berkeley). Outside of the U.S. there is the London film school or Vancouver film school.

Northeastern University has good programs for Criminal Justice, as well as Harvard or Yale (on the more difficult program spectrum). The University of Chicago also has good criminal justice/law programs.

Lastly, schools with good psychology programs include Duke University, Smith College, Williams College (which also has unique math/science programs), and the University of Michigan. Outside of the U.S., the University of Copenhagen and McGill University in Canada seem to have good psychology programs.

Hope these help!
