NYU or USC school of Arts and Sciences?

College Search & Selection

<p>Hello! </p>

<p>I am a senior in high school and I am still trying to decide between NYU and USC.
I have already sent in my deposit for NYU and the USC one is due by June 1st!
Please help me decide!</p>

<p>I am going into the college of arts and sciences for both colleges, as a poli sci major.
I'm also thinking about double majoring or minoring in business... I have been trying to decide which school offers me a better learning field as in academically but to me, they seem similar in most aspects. Maybe I don't know what to look for and where, but I need some opinions :(</p>

<p>For now, I'm leaning more towards USC because of the $22,000 grant/scholarship they offered(NYU offered $15,000, $28,000 including loans), and since I am from southern california, I think it would be a fairly comfortable environment to adjust to(compared to NYU's busy city lifee!), although I do like the whole city vibe in NYC.</p>

<p>But the thing is that for USC, i got into spring semester which means that I have to attend a CC for spring....I am kind of worried that I might not be able to get quality education at a CC.</p>

<p>Also, USC doesn't offer guaranteed housing for spring admits, while NYU offers 4 yrs of housing..</p>

<p>I'm so sorry about the long post but I really am split between these two colleges , and while I like them both, there are so many factors to take into consideration!</p>

<p>So basically my question is that is NYU worth the money or should I just stick with USC even if I have to go to a CC for fall? THANKS EVERYONEE :D</p>

<p>The only concern of the ones you listed should be housing. The educational quality difference between a CC and a university with entry-level classes will be negligible. </p>

<p>Pick based on where you see yourself spending the next four years. NYU and USC are very different. USC has a ton of school spirit, good football, nice weather, a typical college experience, etc. NYU has the city if you like that, but make sure you are willing to compromise on the typical campus-life, college experience.</p>
