<p>USC:
it has a great (and always increasing) academic reputation…really looked highly upon in the Los Angeles/SoCal communities
GREAT sports life…tailgates, games still go strong even on sanctions
Amazing weather but still looks like the classic east coast school (thats why they use it in movies like the Social Network to film “harvard” or in shows like CSI:NY
