My son wants to go for Computer Science and has been accepted at both. We live in driving distance to Winthrop but
even if he chooses to go there I want him to live on campus. What school is better in the long run. Does one have a better program/reputation?
Post in school forums and you may get some current students to answer. Since you are close, I’d try to visit each again and maybe talk to someone in those departments.
USC is better overall but how much would you pay for each (not counting any loan, just out of pocket costs once you’ve subtracted any grant and scholarship he got?)
