<p>I also am facing the same USC engineering vs UCLA engineering dilemma. I would really like some more answers outside of each school’s respective sport programs…</p>
<p>I’ve heard lots of praise about USC’s alumni network as well but… does this network, and does USC’s prestige, extend outside of the state of California?</p>
<p>Also, I may be receiving USC’s Presidential scholarship, which should make it much cheaper than UCLA (UCLA offered NO gift aid, NO merit aid, only loans, I’m also out-of-state). I haven’t received my need-based aid award letter yet from USC. My point in saying this is USC seems more generous with the financial aid than UCLA, and it could end up being cheaper for some.</p>
<p>^ Yes SC does extend outside of Cali. My friends dad moved to Hong Kong or something and called up the alumni network, and found a great job in a few weeks.</p>
<p>I hear SC gives great financial aid for those that actually qualify, but middle class families get raped.</p>
<p>As a brother of a UCLA alumna (though I am a Berkeley student) I am obliged to say this
UCLA > U$C in all aspects</p>
<p>ruskie… evidently you haven’t seen the girls ar UCLA… it’s know for hollywood hopefuls, and you know what that means… On the girls score, it’s a TIE.</p>
<p>As my dad, who went to UCLA for graduate school, has stated, UCLA is not lacking in girls in the slightest.</p>
<p>UCLA: nice campus, nice part of LA, great engineering programs, great overall academics</p>
<p>USC: decent campus, bad part of LA, electrical engineering is still good, overall academics are okay but it’s always been viewed as slightly worse than UCLA. UCLA sports overall still dominate USC.</p>
<p>aberdeen15, doesn’t the Presidential scholarship cover only half the tuition? UCLA would still be cheaper.</p>
<p>DunninLA I think I definitely know how the girls are. I live two blocks away and I know the whole campus basically, so many of my friends go there, and many are in the frats, which tend to attract the hottest girls. The freshman class this year is actually pretty hot, but USC still owns in this area. I don’t think you know the SC girls that well.</p>
<p>UCLA really needs more hot guys. So if you fit under that category, make your way over to Westwood. The girls are fine, and I’d put us up against $C’s any day of the week.</p>
<p>The $C girls I know are materialistic, rich and drunk 4 days of the week. If that’s your thing, we’d rather not have you here anyway.</p>
<p>vc08 – you mean drunk four <em>nights</em> of the week… R, F, Sa, Su. They are <em>not</em> drunk four days M, T, W, R.</p>
