I applied to USC’s Master in Social Work and SCU’s Master in Counseling Psychology programs, and got into both. Now I’m a bit stuck on deciding which school to attend for graduate school.
I am leaning a bit towards USC because of the prestigiousness of their Master’s in Social Work but I do know that it’s significantly pricier compared to SCU (especially since I’m in the Bay Area and could commute to SCU from home). Even if I were to go to USC, I plan on coming back to the Bay Area to find a job so I also wonder if USC’s reputation would be of any use up here in the Bay. Anyone have any pros/cons of both schools or suggestions about what factors to take into consideration when I choose one of them?
