College Help – Mizzou Or Texas?


Currently, I am a freshman at the University of Missouri majoring in Journalism. That’s what I want to do, journalism, no question about it. I am primarily interested in sports, and I am a really hard worker and will do whatever it takes to make it in the business.
I am considering transferring to the University of Texas at Austin because one, it is closer to home, and two, I am just not having fun at Mizzou. However, I have a very good GPA at Mizzou (3.94), I have made some friends (not many – but some), I have made great connections (I work with the student radio station and the local NBC-affiliate TV station called KOMU), and I am basically settled in. The only problem is, really, is that I miss home and I am not enjoying it as much as I thought I would.
I always wanted to go to Texas growing up, and I know it provides an excellent education in journalism. I also realize that Mizzou does as well.
In journalism, I know it is all about connections. UT seems to have a lot of connections there (the Dean of Communications told me about how they have ESPN, TV stations, Radio stations, etc.). Mizzou does too, though. However, I don’t know which will be better for my future. I also have to take into consideration that leaving Mizzou will be starting all over again and I would be taking a risk at making new connections in a new location when I already have some at Mizzou.
I really just need some advice on what direction to take. Should I go to Mizzou or should I go to Texas? If you can’t answer that, can you please give me advice on this whole situation? Thank you all!
