<p>Would you rather go to USC, Boston College, Mills College, or Smith College (assuming that you were accepted to all and you were female)....also, explain your decision....</p>
<p>I would get rid of Mills and Smith right away (I'm not into the whole single sex thing). I would also get rid of BC because it's overwhelmingly Jesuit (and I'm Jewish). I'd pick USC.</p>
<p>I would pick USC or BC because I'm also not really into the whole single-sex college thing. I wouldn't go to any of them though, because USC is too preppy for me and in a ghetto and BC is Jesuit. It would be a tough choice between those two but I would probably pick USC.</p>
<p>"USC is too preppy for me and in a ghetto"</p>
<p>It isn't, really. It's not exactly up in the hills, but it is hardly in the ghetto.</p>
<p>Smith
Mills
USC
BC</p>
<p>USC and BC are much too conservative for me (more so BC) and they are also too large. Smith is supposedly a better school than Mills.</p>
<p>Smith</p>
<p>My cousin went there and truly enjoyed it. She is graduating from med school now, so things worked out for her. I have not visited the school, nor did I apply, but I have heard that it is ultra liberal, which would be a downside, as I would prefer something middle-of-the-road.</p>
<p>USC IS in the ghetto.</p>
<p>Smith, to avoid heat and religion.</p>
<p>BC because a) don't want an all-girls school, I've been dealing with that since 7th grade already, b) I don't want to go too far away (USC), and c) people from my school tend to like BC</p>
<p>anticatalyst,
there's a reason USC has the largest private police force in the country...</p>
<p>Probably Smith, although the strong lesbian presence might be hard for me. I Actually applied to Mills EA and got in. I'm spending the night this week. Smith's prestige is much stronger though, and USC and BC aren't small and liberal arts like I want.</p>
<p>anyone in this thread actually BEEN to usc campus? its hardly a ghetto. its downtown los angeles.</p>
<p>I have been there. There were sketchy people walking the streets outside of USC's gate and I certainly did not want to walk by them.</p>
<p>Id probably go to USC or BC.</p>
<p>more well known and respected and both of their campuses are very nice.</p>
<p>"I have been there. There were sketchy people walking the streets outside of USC's gate and I certainly did not want to walk by them."</p>
<p>and by sketchy you probably mean black or hispanic right? </p>
<p>seriously, and this goes for any urban school, as long as you arent wandering around past 12 at night without a group of friends, you will be totally safe. its just that simple. </p>
<p>to the OP, dont let these sheltered children who get scared when they see someone who isnt white ruin your perception of USC.</p>
<p>do not even try and pull the racist card with me. it was a questionable area and i have many people to back me up on that.</p>
<p>im not calling you racist, im calling you a white, sheltered person who obviously doesnt know the difference between a "ghetto" and a city center.</p>
<p>"do not even try and pull the racist card with me. it was a questionable area and i have many people to back me up on that."</p>
<p>I used to live there. It's not a ghetto. There are sketchy people hanging around downtown where I live now, and it's a suburb.</p>
<p>USC. I do not like girls and Boston College is way too religious/conservative.</p>
<p>i'd choose BC because it's my dream school!! seriously tho i'd choose it over the others because: a. basically its a cross between a LAC and a uni so you get the small classes/community AND lots of majors/research opportunities, b. boston is an amazing city, c. the campus is soooo pretty c. better name recognition than the others. i dont really care about the last point but it might be important to get a job after college.</p>
<p>and BC isn't that conservative. my brother is there now. he is openly gay, out and loves it there. my fam is not catholic and not religious AT ALL.</p>
