<p>A parent here.....son got into the above schools. He wants to study CS/CSE, leaning towards USC. Visited all 3 schools, he is US citizen living abroad, hence coming in as OOS at UCSD.</p>
<p>Price tag - UCSD 54k, USC 60k Santa Clara 25k merit aid. If I take $$ out of the scenario what would you folks suggest?</p>
<p>He likes urban/ modern environment of both SCU and USC. Not a partier. Sports will not make or break his decision in selection of a college.</p>
