University of Southern California or University of Utah

<p>I want to go into game design, and I want to go to the best school possible. After searching around, I've seen that they're both at the top. I'm currently a junior in the midwest, and I don't mind being far from home. My gpa is 3.8 and weighted it's 4.429 in case you're wondering.</p>

<p>Can you afford them?</p>

<p>I haven’t really looked into all that, but I do know that USC is much more expensive than the University of Utah. I’ll consider cost when I make my final decision later, but I want to know from people which school will get me a better education. I guess extra things to do at campuses can be factored in, but I’m not really concerned with campus aesthetics.</p>

<p>Have you run the NPC’s (net price calculators)?
What can your parents pay?
Because USC is more expensive than University of Utah, but it does provide financial aid, whereas U of Utah doesn’t (unless you have and ACT/SAT score that may make merit aid possible).</p>

<p>Wow. Utah vs. So Cal? Talk about a cultural divide.</p>

6

<p>Interesting. Not two colleges I’d ever expect to see in competition with each other except by Utah residents. Could be a good find by OP.</p>

<p>Not sure where OP comes from but University of Utah has a new scholarship which might be a tie breaker in certain circumstances.</p>

<p>I’m from Missouri. I brought the two universities up because of their game design programs seem to be the best</p>

<p>Aw Missouri isn’t on the list</p>

<p>Undergrads often change their minds about majors and career paths. You might want to consider where you’ll be happiest if you decide to shift your area of interest.</p>
