<p>Hello, I'm a current USC undergraduate student but I've been having thoughts of wanting to transfer to UCLA for a while now because of these reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>I don't like the USC campus, but the UCLA campus looks way better in my opinion.</li>
<li>I don't like the surrounding area of USC because the area is not nice and it's dangerous during nighttime.</li>
<li>I feel like USC is a school that has a bad reputation with many people in America like there being a lot of rich spoiled people that attend USC.</li>
<li>UCLA is ranked significantly higher in worldwide rankings, and UCLA is currently ranked equally with USC at #24 on U.S. news.</li>
<li>UCLA may have a better program for my majors which are Chinese and Korean. I also heard that UCLA generally has a better humanities department than USC.</li>
</ol>
<p>I actually wanted people's opinions on my 4th and 5th reasons. Will USC eventually be ranked higher than UCLA nationally in the U.S. and worldwide? I'm asking this because I do know that USC receives a lot more money than UCLA. Also, does UCLA really have a better program for my majors Chinese and Korean and a better humanities department than USC?</p>
<p>On the side note, if I absolutely want to transfer to UCLA, I believe I am able to transfer in fall 2014 because my transfer GPA is excellent. However, there is one problem. If I successfully transfer to UCLA in fall 2014, I will graduate in 2 years which will be in 2016. But if I just stay at USC and not transfer to UCLA I will be able to graduate in 2015. So I was also wondering if the 1 extra year of school in UCLA be worth it than graduating 1 year earlier in USC?</p>
<p>Any helpful answers would be greatly appreciated!</p>
