<p>I dont go there and neither do you, but i have spent enought time there to know what it is like. </p>
<p>Trully what experiences do you have at usc and your going off of america's stereotype of orange county. That is what i am getting at, people that stereotype things like this are ignorant and stupid. Its you comparing an entire school based on peoples assumptions and views about things they dont really know about and have never experienced. I am not trying to push USC because i live here, i dont like USC (ucla go bruines!) its just dont say something you dont really know. I am not going to tell an engineer you must do this this and this, that is sort of like what your doing.</p>
<p>I am not pushing my opinion, just offering a perception of America-at-large's view.</p>
<p>well you along with the americans that follow this stereotype are ignorant, that is all...no more posts about this we have hi jacked this thread enough, we can just conclude we have different opinions</p>
<p>It's not my opinion and I'm not ignorant. I was just giving the perception people have of OC outside of California.</p>
<p>perhaps one example of USC film school's prowess:
2 of the top 10 grossing movies of all time were directed by usc alumni</p>
<p>i applied to both. my brother went to nyu. id prefer usc for the environment, the more moderate nature of the school, and the different nature of los angeles and california in general. (i live right outside nyc)</p>
<p>I would pick NYU, because of its better academics and environment.</p>
<p>Well....
USC is located in South Central LA, right outside of Compton and Watts. This makes crime high if you step outside of campus, because black men are just waiting for a chance to jack your BMW. Marshall is great, but its like biz school inbreeding...blah blah blah
NYU is located within a security blanket for white/ultra-libera, but still scared of black people/ with a high ratio of pseudo-intellectuals.</p>
<p>These are the perceived stereotypes.
Both are excellent schools, but it breaks down to one thing, really...
Did you like high-school? Go to 'SC.
Did you not like high-school? Go to NYU.</p>
<p>P.S. If you like Mexican food....I don't think that there is a doubt in your mind where you want to go.</p>
<p>I very much doubt you know where is Compton or Watts.</p>
<p>You've got to learn how to deal with ignorant people with a texas attitude after W got elected twice:)</p>
<p>The area usc is in would be considered only south los angeles, not south central. Compton is no where near south los angeles, but rather resides right by long beach and paramount. Area is bad but has dramatically improved.</p>
<p>Yeah, umm, USC is not anywhere close to Compton. You should probably confirm something before you state it as a fact. Anyway, it's difficult to truly compare the schools academically, because they are so close and there will always be argument as to which is better. I would prefer USC, just because it has a (beautiful) campus and I love school spirit and sports, which USC has a ton of. Other people could easily prefer the environment at NYU, though, and could come up with tons of equally viable reasons why.</p>
<p>^Actually these schools have almost nothing in common, besides the fact that they are large, private, and located in huge cities with good film and business programs.</p>
<p>I didn't mean they were very similar. I meant that they had similar levels of prestige, varying with who you ask and where you go.</p>

<p>Shut<br>
up.</p>
<p>ty.________________</p>
<p>The schools are very even academically. They're both large, private universities set in big cities. NYU is very expensive and stingy with fin. aid, USC is very expensive but very generous with aid. NYU has a better business school. USC has a better engineering school. </p>
<p>The schools are very similar, almost like the same school on opposite coasts. I'd choose USC because i prefer its location.</p>

There's a reason TV shows have sprung up about the OC (OC, Laguna Beach, etc) - it's because it's where preppy and shallow teenagers dream of living...sort of their Mecca, if you will.

<p>Oh yeah, people want to live in Southern California because they're shallow, not because we have amazing weather, beautiful real estate, gorgeous mountains, sandy beaches, and a fantastic school system. I'm sure people are just itching to get up and move to Dallas--one of the fattest cities in America and world-renowned for it's bad weather. >(</p>
<p>Quiet stereotyping, I'm getting tired of it. Yes, there are shallow partiers at USC, just like there are at every college. But there are also plently of friendly, down-to-earth people ready and willing to learn.</p>
<p>i can wait to see how kcirsh respond to your post</p>
