Real quotes• “I want to find a university that will prepare

me for the day-to-day life as a reporter.”• “Most colleges only seem to have a single

major dedicated to journalism. This troubles me because there are so many different areas of journalism.”

• “Everyone tells me journalism is a dying business.”

Objections:• I have heard that UF is a school mostly

focused on the sciences• It would be much cheaper to attend a local

community college
