Should I go to American University DC or Elon University NC for undergrad communications?

It will be a matter of preference on your part. Both schools have the preferred regional accreditation. Therefore, the coursework and degree you complete through either school will be recognized by all other colleges and universities as well as employers.

Research each and look at the programs of study particular to your interest, the admissions requirements, tuition and fees, student services offered, the environment etc. If possible, visit each school. You must be comfortable with it's environment. Then just pick the institution you feel will meet your personal goals and objectives.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
