<p>Been accepted to both and deciding between, planning on an Economics major. </p>
<p>Any advice?</p>
<p>how do the financial costs to you and your family compare? Our S applied to both schools as an engineering major and got significant merit from USC and none from BU, so chose USC.</p>
<p>Have you visited each U? What are your and family’s impressions of each?</p>
<p>I’m an international student, didn’t get aid from either place and costs are similar. </p>
<p>BU would probably be easier to live in, and it’s more research oriented while USC seems a lot more prestigious. </p>
<p>Which is more well-known in your country?</p>
<p>Both are known, but USC is more common amongst engineering students than econ</p>
<p>USC is very good if you plan on working with the entertainment industry or high tech. In addition, it has a real campus (BU doesn’t, but it may not matter to you at all!)</p>
