<p>I need your guys help in choosing between UCSD and USC, and my major is Electrical Engineering. I have done some research that USC is slighter better than UCSD in Electrical Engineering. However I dont really know which one i should choose since both of them are good schools. I heard that living in USC is very $$$ and dangerous as well, however I am a big fan of Kobe, Can you guys help me narrow down my choice?
Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Wait. You might want to go to USC despite the cost and inner city crime, because you’re a big fan of Kobe? </p>
<p>Both are great schools, you should seriously visit these schools if you can or take a campus tour to see which one would suit you better. UCSD’s campus is spread out so you might have to walk more, plan your classes in the same location to avoid that, or get a bicycle-but it is near the ocean and the area is quite nice. USC has a more urban feel to it and the campus is smaller than UCSD’s.</p>
<p>although the UCSD campus is much larger, the engineering quad is actually close to the student centers and the library</p>
<p>Kobe should always be the reason in planning ones future</p>
<p>They are both good schools. Depends on what you want- Do you want to live in in LA or San Diego? </p>
<p>Which one gave you more financial aid? Academics are sound for both, but it’s the culture that sets them apart. SD is a nerdy school with a socially dead campus. USC is a vibrant school with huge school pride, great sports team, and the academics like UCLA. </p>
<p>If financial aid is similar, I would go with USC. Grad program is ranked higher than UCSD, better undergrad fun factor by a HUGE margin, and since USC is private you don’t have to worry about the budget cuts and increasing tuition as much. USC gives out great scholarships (if your parents don’t make that much). </p>
<p>my .02 cents</p>
<p>Thanks u guys for replying, sorry for sounding crazy for the post that talking about kobe…
my little brother posted that for me while i was having final exam…
cuz usc is one of my dream schools that i really wanna get in. and i got my application while i was taking final exam. So when he called me I ask him to post this for me.</p>
<p>My major is electrical engineering, in the future i hope i can focus in electric transportation such as electric car, scooter and so on. Later on receive a MBA degree for my future, I know business major in usc is good, so will it better to stay at the same school?</p>
<p>for ucsd, i like the beach and the weather, also the living expense is not that high. however, i am an international student, the tuition wont be that much different…still living in la will cost more than sd that is fore sure.</p>
<p>so my major concern is, should i spend a little more to go usc? is it really better than ucsd.
thanks for helping guys. thanks in advance.
oh and my brother is right, my fav team is lakers…</p>
<p>O ya…how much do you have to pay out of pocket for USC and what financial aid packet did UCSD offer you? I’m in the exact situation as you right now…</p>
