With the start of the 2009-2010 school year now only a few months away, early decision admitted student Elise Butler is looking forward to studying journalism at Medill and having a change of pace from high school.

“I’m excited to take more specific classes geared towards what I’m interested in because in my high school there are some electives junior and senior year, but there’s such a wide range of classes [at Northwestern] that I can pick and study,” Butler said. She added that she is also excited to meet all her classmates.

Although Butler has not yet decided which track she will pursue, she said she will most likely focus on magazine or newspaper.

“My school only has newspaper, that’s our only publication, and yearbook, so we don’t have any broadcast or radio or anything, so that’s what I’ve known for my years in high school,” she said. “I know that even if I go through the print journalism track, I’ll still learn about the other types of media.”

She also has begun thinking about where she wants to live on campus next year, and is currently deciding between between Communications Residential College and Allison Hall.
