<p>Obviously this is the USC forum so the opinions may be a bit biased but I'm having a hard time choosing between BC and USC (I live in Maryland) heres how I see it rolling down
BC - closer 2 hr flight vs a 5 hr flight, Jesuit(my HS is Jesuit this could be a good or bad thing cause Ive gone to Catholic school my whole life and its getting old, but I really like how they teach and their beliefs etc.), bunch of kids I know are going there
USC - its LA u cant go wrong with LA, warm, new start (experience the left coast see above)
Currently Im leaning towards USC and Im not even into BC yet (waitlisted but my counselor thinks I'll get in) Everyday USC seems better and better
I just thought Id get ur alls opinion (are there many east coast people at USC or is it mostly Californians? cause I feel like I'd be an odd man out) I haven't had a chance to see USC yet but I have a few cousins that go there and love it, and I have family out there and no family up in Boston.</p>
<p>I guess you (and other out-of-staters) will be a novelty at USC... but hey! that's a good thing :p
Everyone will be meeting new people, making new friends, I highly doubt you'll be ostracized. It's cool that you're from Maryland!</p>
<p>yeah, you should really go to usc. i live in the boston area and BC isn't all that great. it really has a big hype associated with it. you should try and experience new things if you can and USC would be a great opportunity to do that.</p>
<p>join us in the west coast... actually, i been to east coast alot but never been to LA so I'm excited for it >.< I want some sunny weather!</p>
<p>yea I live in Maryland and go to school in DC (this area is getting boring mighty quickly so I need a change)</p>
<p>I think you'll find a change in be a very refreshing and eye-opening experience. The West Coast mindset can be different than the East Coast in both good ways and bad ways. Don't choose a college simply because your friends go there.</p>
<p>And from what it seems like, you might want to stay involved in your Catholic beliefs without getting it piled on you like your high school. USC has quite a few Christian and Catholic fellowships that you can go to if you choose to stay active in that, or if you choose not to, you don't have to.</p>
<p>There's actually quite a few people from out of state here, since we're a private college, so don't worry about not fitting it.</p>
