<p>OK so I am new to all of this and was hoping someone could give me some advice. I am trying to get my degree in Business Admin and want to move to Cali to do so. However I am trying to do some research on which college to attend before I actually move. I am looking for advice on which colleges in Southern California have a good Business program, good student teacher interaction so slightly smaller class sizes, knowledgeable and friendly administrators, and I am not into the whole Greek life. Anyone got any suggestions?</p>
<p>Not into Greek life probably eliminates USC. </p>
<p>I'm not sure about the Greek presence at these but it's a start:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Claremont McKenna College (economics and finance) <a href="http://claremontmckenna.edu/rdschool/%5B/url%5D">http://claremontmckenna.edu/rdschool/</a></p></li>
<li><p>Chapman University (Orange County) Chapman</a> University - Argyros School of Business & Economics</p></li>
<li><p>Pepperdine University (Malibu) Graziadio</a> School of Business and Management - Pepperdine University</p></li>
<li><p>Loyola Marymount U (Los Angeles) College</a> of Business Administration</p>
<ol>
<li> University of San Diego USD:</a> Business: Undergraduate</li>
</ol></li>
</ol>
<p>USC's life isn't strictly revolved around the frat row/greek life. I think USC is so big enough, especially LA to find your own NICHE. Why would you sacrifice probably the best school in so cal for undergrad business just because of a small percentage of the student population.</p>
<ol>
<li>USC</li>
<li>UCLA or Claremont McKenna, even though neither of them offer business administration as a major, they do have business econ, and econ at claremont with finance, accounting and other concentrations.</li>
<li>Pomona College, I would only put it at 4, because they're econ program is less practical than Claremont, but they still get recruited by Top Investment Banking Firms.</li>
<li>I think at this point it wouldn't even matter, just pick any school in So Cal, they're bound to have good to strong business, ie CSULB, USD, UCR, Loyola, Pepperdine, CSUN</li>
</ol>
<p>come on guys, USC hasn't been a frat school since the mid-90's when the president of the university cracked down on them. Almost 80% of USC students are not greek-affiliated, myself included.</p>
<p>You're right, jb. I should have checked in my PR guidebook, which says only 16 percent of the USC student population participates in the frat system. </p>
<p>OP, put USC at the top of your list. It's got an amazing UG business program and if you stay in So Cal, USC contacts and a USC degree will be invaluable.</p>
<p>Darn. Here it is again.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the advice. I really appreciate it and am now going to take a better look at USC. Does anyone now much about San Marcos College. That is the area that interests me the most at this time.</p>
<p>If you're talking about Southern California, I think you mean Cal State San Marcos. Don't know too much about it --- it's one of the smaller Cal States, so it might have the feeling of a larger private. I've heard it's a beautiful campus.</p>
<p>Here's a link: California</a> State University - San Marcos</p>
<p>Another way to get info fast, such as the cost to attend out of state is to go to College</a> Navigator - National Center for Education Statistics</p>
