<p>USC is also in the ghetto, and the campus is incredibly packed in.</p>
<p>Considering Cal's class is bigger, there are even more talented students in each class. If anything, It would be easier to fit in at Cal.</p>
<p>If by fit in you mean disappear in a sea of faces, then maybe it would be easier to fit in at Cal. ;) I think an Asian person would find more diversity at USC than at a UC. At USC, I know quite a few 2nd gen Asian Americans who are from out of state (Pacific NW, Texas, East coast), and it adds to the diversity. You probably wouldn't get that at a UC. Ethnicities tend to stick together at USC just like at Cal (see link), but try to make your own observations on diversity if you visit.</p>
<p>Little</a> Asia on the Hill</p>
<p>And zotan, Cal isn't exactly out of the ghetto either.</p>
<p>But UCLA certainly is.</p>
<p>Which is why I choose UCLA over USC.</p>
<p>UCLA kids hang out by UCLA. USC kids, well, they hang out by UCLA also.</p>
<p>I might turn down the Trustee scholarship since I've been accepted into UT's Business Honors Program.</p>
<p>I still don't know yet. I'm really torn over this issue. :/</p>
<p>Lovely, do you live in TX?</p>
<p>Yes, Knm. I'm a TX resident, so costs to attend both schools are roughly the same.</p>
<p>cal is NOT in the ghetto</p>
<p>i live in the bay area, trust me</p>
<p>berkeley/telegraph is not south central la</p>
<p>but at the same time its not westwood</p>
<p>telegraph area is very very liberal
peoples park is right near cal
there are many many homeless people who live there
berkeley is a vibrant and eccentric place
it is a very liberal town
although i might have to disagree with the notion that the campus itself is THAT liberal
as it is such a huge campu with such a big student body, there are people from ALL walks of life
i have heard that there is a strong conservative representation (shocking i know)</p>
<p>but back to the location
just 5 minutes south of campus is the ashby area which is verrrry nice and verry expensive
in that area is also the claremont hotel, again very upscale</p>
<p>north of campus is the much more refined restaurant neighborhood
berkeley high is not that far from campus
thats not the best school around
but it is what it is</p>
<p>so in general
berkeley is a liberal ( ok i will say it, notoriously high) area
but by no means the ghetto
there is a large population of very wealthy people in that area
the berkeley hills (east of campus) is very upscale</p>
<p>very different vibes from either watts or bel air</p>
<p>None of these universities, even USC, are in a 'ghetto,' a word that is overused by people who are frightened of poor neighborhoods.</p>
<p>I know someone who is turning down the Trustee to pay full tuition at Cornell, but he is an only child and his parents are very wealthy.</p>
<p>the are around usc is really safe. even safer than that around ucla some might argue</p>
