<p>Hi, I'm trying to decide between UC Berkeley and USC for Economics.
Financially, I only need to pay $2000 to go to USC, whereas I need to pay $8000 for Cal. In addition, I live in SoCal, so USC is closer and Cal is in NorCal. Please help!</p>
<p>Bumpppppppp.</p>
<p>Statistics won't help you. You'll have to decide on you rown.</p>
<p>The $6,000 gap isn't too much--can your family pay for it? Berkeley's economics department is amazing, easily one of the best. So what you really need to consider is a) how much of a difference in cost matters to you, b) the difference in the econ programs, and c) how much you personally like each. Make a decision on that.</p>
<p>Bump. Sorry, please help!</p>
