<p>Well this may or may not help you decide, but I just decided today to go to Tulane's architecture program over USC's; mostly because arch students at USC don't do anything else but study and work in their studios. USC is ranked 30th out of national universities and 10th in architecture while Tulane is 43rd and 37th. Big difference in architecture but I still want a life in college so I went with Tulane - by far a better party town than LA.</p>
