UCLA vs USC

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>First off, the "ZOMG UCLA HAS HUGE CLASSES" thing is a myth. UCLA's class sizes are on par with many other top schools, including JHU and Cornell (privates, in case you forgot.)
% of class less than 20:

<p>% of class more than 50:

<p>USC and UCLA are...different. USC has yet to develop itself as a top PhD machine, but has some excellent professional schools and a good undergrad program.</p>

<p>Oh, and I've always thought the whole "business major vs. business-econ" thing is kinda moot. The big names recruit actively at both, and I've seen plenty of UCLA students get the same jobs the business majors get. If anything, I think that a strong econ background is more important than what traditional business majors teach.</p>

<p>UCLAri...I can't open your links.</p>

23

<p>oh nvm..i found the pages.</p>

24

<p>UCLA - liberal, hip, intellects with really bad cheerleader outfits</p>

<p>USC - conservative, Animal House frat scene rich partying types with outstanding cheerleader outfits.</p>

25

<p>lol..yes, the cheerleading outfits are something to note when choosing :p</p>

<p>Sorry to post this... I know Bruins are tired of re-hashing their win over and over...... :)</p>

<p>Has anyone noticed how ugly the Daily Trojan website looks? :rolleyes:</p>

<p>flopsy- Yeah I brought that up after the rivalry game. It's interesting that a school which so adamantly touts its communications program as being one of the best in the world also has one of the most amateur, geocities-circa-1996 style news websites I have ever seen (and I am a pathetic intraweb-veteran). It is god-awful. </p>

<p>I agree with the bus-econ thing being moot. I've never understood what the big deal is- it's not as if the school lacks any business curriculum whatsoever and it's not like bus-econ grads are at any real detriment. People have a very hard time understanding that just because something isn't exactly by-the-books doesn't mean that it is lesser in any way.</p>

29

<p>Just, everything is better here. I was neutral before. I got accepted to both. Everyone who is accepted to both (and doesnt receive a full ride at USC) chooses UCLA. End of story.</p>

30

<p>i've never even heard of USC's communications program...but i think that's just me.</p>

31

<p>eh its decent. they talk it up a whole lot, and it is one of their better programs. but uh. clearly they don't focus too much on online comm. cuz yeah.</p>

32

<p>how would you rate the daily bruin site?</p>

33

<p>highly. i just think that the design is much, much more professional on the DB site. i also think the reporting and the writing quality in general is significantly better in DB. As it should be, since the DB is one of the most widely circulated papers in LA and the daily trojan...isn't.</p>

34

<p>^yeah DB has a circulation of 50,000 readers a day approx., the 3rd largest in LA after the times and daily news. daily trojan is daily bruin lite.</p>

<p>daily bruin lite :p</p>
