<p>I can't imagine its really that much easier, especially at a place like USC. It might not be as mathematically complicated, but they'll make up for that some other way. In the end though, does it really matter? I can't imagine someone doing EE would hate ME or vis versa. Since I don't even know that I want to do IE, is passing up that option for a school I might otherwise like better really a good decision? Would it be possible for me to like that engineering and dislike the others to enough of a degree that I wasn't happy?</p>
