Hi everyone,
I’m a senior trying to finalize my college decision and I’m deciding between USC and Santa Clara University for business. USC is my top choice, but Santa Clara has given me a fair amount of money in merit aid. My parents can pay for both schools realistically, but SCU is would be easier to pay for. Is a USC degree and connections worth the extra cost?
Thanks!
Since we don’t know what “extra costs” means in this case we can’t answer. How much? Will your family be able to pay the extra without thinking about it?
I will have to pay pretty much double what I would have to pay for SCU in order to attend USC. They can pay the cost but not completely comfortably.
SCU is good for Silicon Valley, if you plan to work there after college then you can save money.
So about $25K/year in savings to go to Santa Clara? Go there.
