<p>I am accepted by Emory, BC(Carroll), UCL(UK) and USC, and I want to study Economics in future. Please give some advice on which one to choose.</p>
<p>Unless you have housing at USC for all four years, I wouldn’t consider it. Emory and BC are in safe, residential neighborhoods and housing is plentiful. There is already a thread going comparing BC and Emory from the perspective of studying Econ.</p>
<p>Emory is significantly more diverse than BC, but BC has fantastic athletic teams and is located in Boston- an incredible college town. The education is probably on the whole similar between BC and Emory. </p>
<p>I don’t know anything about UCL.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I understand UCL as University College London.
By USC do you mean University of Southern California or University of South Carolina?</p>
<p>UCL will offer a very different experience. It has no campus and London costs even more than new York. Figure that someting that costs $1.00 here will cost at least $1.50 in London. On the other hand, some people are in love with London.</p>
<p>As between the other three, are you aware of the size and weather differences? Emory is about 6,000 undergrads - SoCal is about 3X that size. Emory and SoCal both have good weather most of the year, Boston has definite bad weather months.</p>
<p>There are other differences as well. Which one appeals to you?</p>
<p>It would be beyond ridiculous to not choose USC solely because it’s “not a safe neighborhood.” I’m currently going to school in a city with a much worse violent crime rate than LA. It’s not as bad as you’d think. How many USC students have been the victims of violent crimes in the past decade? Very few I’d bet.</p>
