<p>I got into georgetown sfs and usc thematic option/ honors college (no merit scholarships surprisingly). I'm leaning towards georgetown because it's the better school for politics, which is what I'm interested in, but I'm not sure if I would really be happy at georgetown. I'm from San Jose and LA/USC seems like a better place for me.</p>
<p>Any insight on either school is appreciated.</p>
<p>if you want to go into politics, then you should definately go to georgetown!! I live in southern california and I can tell you that besides the AWESOME weather basically 24/7, everything else sucks haha jk If you got a scholarship at USC, then you should consider it... but you didn't so go to georgetown! Also, there is supposed to be a big earthquake here soon so going far wouldnt hurt</p>
<p>go to georgetown for sure
esppppp with what ur interested in
(it's the nation's best)
i'm sure you'll find the right people and be happy in both places</p>
<p>My brother goes to SC and sometimes I wish I was there cus it's an awesome school too. I'm very jealous of their football team, although we have basketball here, there's a big difference between crowds at the MCI center vs. the Coloseum. I think georgetown is probably a lot harder, but it does have more prestige. For politics DC is the place to be.<br>
The weather really isn't that big of an issue. In fact having an actual winter here will make you appreciate home so much more- I never realized how gorgeous san diego was until I experienced variation in weather.<br>
I don't know about your situation, but for a lot of people, SC is a lot like their high school and I definitely think it's worth it to get a different experience for a few years. Sometimes I do wish that everyone was more chill here like at sc, but we have to work hard before we can party.<br>
You'll probably be happy at either place- everyone I know at SC loves it and most people love gtown too. I'd say a main thing to think about is if you want to stay in CA and be somewhere you know you'll be comfortable or go somewhere new and experience a different livestyle.</p>
