<p>How would you compare the two architecture schools? I live in Southern California and would like to settle here. Are there any advantages for me to go to ND over USC?</p>
<p>for architecture? If what you want to do is spend your life working on classical revival style facades, then go to Notre Dame. Otherwise, pick another school. Even if it's not USC (I admit, I'm biased), Notre Dame is not a contemporary architecture school.</p>
<p>I was just about to post the same question! I'm also having trouble deciding between Notre Dame and USC architecture. </p>
<p>Right now I'm leaning heavily toward USC after all I've heard about the connections I could gain over there. USC alum seem to be absolutely great about helping out new grads in entering the job market. And since I'm more into the modern designs, I think USC would be more fitting for me (Gehry=the architecture god! lol)...</p>
