Economics: UCSD or USC?

<p>Hello guys, I don't post here often, but I am definitely a fan of College Confidential.</p>

<p>I'm transferring as an international students with a major in econ (minor in polisci) this Fall. Can you provide any specific advices which school is better in terms of the econ program? According to rankings, UCSD scores much higher than USC (better academics and research + few Nobel Laureates who currently teach), but I think that overall prestige of the school + networking opportunities are better in USC. I didn't apply to Marshall, just College of Letters and Science in Econ.</p>

<p>Because I am international, cost is the same for me. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
