<p>Comments, please. </p>
<p>I know there will be bias, but I submitted this thread on the USC board, and of course there was a bias there too.</p>
<p>basically SC is a wannabe ND, besides location. Education is inferior. More parties and a frat life at USC though. I would go to ND</p>
<p>Like Andrew, I was admitted to USC, too. I got into ND first, and didn't really care what USC had to say. Even with half money at USC, I'd still choose paying the full ticket at ND.</p>
<p>i'm waitlisted for ND, so i think SC would be a great school for you...haha! just kidding. anyway, i live pretty near SC, and it is actually a blast. even tho i am an ND sports fan, i can't agree that SC is a wannabe ND anymore. they have upped their academics and i know lots of students who got rejected last yr. and this yr. it is also fun being in the city, and their academics are fantastic. good luck, i hope you open up a spot for me at ND!!</p>
<p>they are actually not all too similar (other than a petty rivarly i cant see how one could be a wannabe of the other), i'm surprised this is a serious topic (dont here alot about people deciding between the two schools). I have a few friends that go to ND and they enjoy it.</p>
<p>if you know less what you want to do, want a more broad arts and letters education, identify with the religious affiliation or are near the area, ND is a good choice. Look into the programs though, because thats where i consistently see USC excelling.</p>
