<p>i know USC has the better business program and since USC is a private studnet teacher ratio will be alot better. Big thing on UCLA is however, if ur instate cost for tution is almost a 1/3-1/4 of USC's w/o scholarship bonuses</p>

<p>their student/ratio ratio is not better, especially in the lower division classes.</p>

<p>UCLA - westwood
USC - in the ghetto</p>

<p>USC - University of Second Choice</p>

<p>hey that's a new one for me :p</p>

7

<p>I was surprised that USC is not one of cc's top colleges...
should i not be?</p>

8

<p>yes, you shouldn't be.</p>

9

<p>yep. you have to dig through the a-z list to find them. i believe that says a lot. </p>

<p>Once Again- USC: 30,000 people stupid enough to wear red in South Central LA.</p>

<p>lol allie thats the best one. </p>

<p>On a side note, if you really want to do business I would consider going to USC (if money is no problem that is). UCLA doesn't have a true undergraduate business program, it only has the major "Business-Economics."</p>

11

<p>which is very competitive, and i believe you need above a 3.0 or 3.5 in pre-bizecon to even apply for the bizecon major.</p>

12

<p>yup!</p>

<p>The decision depends on what you are looking for. If you want a plain liberal arts degree, then UCLA is probably the best choice - however if your more interested in a professional program (such as Business, finance or accounting), then USC is clearly a better option.</p>

<p>note to <em>allie</em>: USC has only 16,000 undergrads (not 30k). UCLA obviously is larger with 25,000.</p>

<p>30,000 INCLUDES grad students</p>

<p>bicoastal- i take no credit for that phrase, and i shall accept no criticism. </p>

<p>...lol, that's right...blame the source. :p</p>

<p>totally...</p>

<p>UCLA is a research institution -- an official asset to the great state of California.
USC is a trade school -- loyal to its own alumni. :rolleyes:</p>

flopsy, i fail to see how a schools loyal alumni following can be anything other than a great asset? And it certainly is unfortionate that only 16% of UCLA alumni care enough to give anything back to their alma mater. UCLA ranks 97th among universities in alumni giving. ('06 USNWR). </p>

<p>For an otherwise excellent school, it seems bruin pride disappears with a diploma.</p>
