<p>my major in USC is accounting and UCLA is bus econ.....so im going down the business route...</p>
<p>pls help me out!!!! any advice appreciated</p>
<p>UCLA is a more respected school. I would go there since the academics are similar.</p>
<p>Financial wise UCLA is a winner. I guess the rest is up to personal preference.</p>
<p>thanx for the responses can anyone tell me how capmus life is at both schools?</p>
<p>I would say go to USC. USC has an amazing business program. It is a private school where you will receive help from fellow students. USC is a school of riches, but UCLA doesn't necessarily have that reputation. This is if cost is not an option. My best friend goes to USC and i got to see the USC social life. Its your typical southern california life...50+% of students party other have their own social click they hang with.</p>
<p>I don't know about the specifics of campus life, but USC's sorroundings are terrible.</p>
<p>Wait and see if UCLA wins the basketball game today.</p>
<p>football, anyone?</p>
<p>If you like sports, I'd go to USC. And USC has an upcoming basketball program as well.</p>
<p>UCLA is probably better if you're in-state financial-wise, but for out-of-state you have a better chance of acceptance and financial aid at USC. UCLA's a lot bigger, but in a nicer area, though the USC campus is very nice. UCLA has a better rep but USC has a steadily increasing one and has been climbing in rankings.</p>
<p>if USC is offering you a lot of money like they did me, go there. otherwise, I'd lean more towards UCLA.</p>
<p>USC = football. UCLA = basketball.</p>
<p>My suggestion is visit each campus, stay overnight if possible, and see which one feels right to you.</p>
<p>I say USC because of the Trojan family... it really can't be beat when it comes to getting jobs, etc. & the rankings are 26th and 27th on USNews... that's basically the same thing.</p>
<p>Go to the one you feel most comfortable in. USC is in the middle of downtown LA -- a big reason why I am not going there. The campus is smaller than UCLA and there is a lot of focus on sports. However, USC does have a great alumni network and more a laid-back atmosphere. UCLA, however, seems more academic. It's campus is located in a rich neighborhood and it very respected academically. Downside is that there are sooo many students. You won't recieve any personal attention from professors or TAs. </p>
<p>On a side note, according to my experience.. although the rankings are similar, it's easier to get into USC than UCLA. Most of my friends who plan on going to USC this year got rejected not only from UCLA but also from UCSD and UCI.. and everyone who got into UCLA got into USC. Just a thought.</p>
<p>I also got into both USC and UCLA. Just a thought. Judging by a certain group of applicants means it runs the risk of being a limited judgment. I'd recommend visiting both places though, because after hearing what people said about USC and visiting for myself, I figured that people exaggerated the neighborhood and its effect on your campus life a lot. And remember, with transportation systems you still have all of LA at your disposal no matter what.</p>
<p>If I were you and I had the money I would go to USC. A degree from UCLA is seen well, but there are just so many students there. USC has great networking and less students (as well as a kickass football team).</p>
<p>I also got into both. For business, I think USC is better. If money is an issue, UCLA is a very excellent school too. Campus life is similar, as both are in LA, but USC really does have more of a "family" feel. great if you like sports, but still great if you don't like sports (me). Don't worry about crime... USC really isn't any worse then most urban schools.</p>
<p>USC has a REALLY strong alumni network. It is very supportive and easy to get a job through the alumni association after graduation. the SC family holds strong for years and can be very beneficial.</p>
