Hi there! I'm glad you're considering majoring in communications. There are many excellent schools with strong communications programs across the United States. Here are a few that you might want to consider:

1. University of Southern California (USC) - USC's Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism is renowned for its cutting-edge research and diverse course offerings. It has strong industry connections and offers numerous opportunities for internships and networking - being in the heart of LA is also a big plus for gaining professional experience while still an undergrad.

2. Northwestern University - The Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications at Northwestern is a top choice for many aspiring communicators, with a strong reputation in both journalism and integrated marketing communications.

3. Syracuse University - The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse is one of the most respected communication schools in the country, and it offers a wide range of undergraduate and graduate programs.

4. Boston University - BU's College of Communication offers a comprehensive communications program with concentrations in areas such as public relations, journalism, film and television, and media studies.

5. University of Pennsylvania - UPenn's Annenberg School for Communication offers an interdisciplinary program that combines social sciences, humanities, and professional skills.

6. University of Texas at Austin - UT's Moody College of Communication offers a variety of majors, in areas like journalism, public relations, advertising, radio-television-film, communication studies, and more.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and I encourage you to research more schools offering strong communications programs. When researching, make sure to consider a range of factors, like program strengths/specializations, geographical preferences, school size, and available resources (e.g., internship and study abroad opportunities). Ultimately, you want to be sure that you choose a school that's a good fit for you personally as well as academically. Good luck in your search!
