<p>1) UMich is harder to get into.. hence people think it's more prestigious.. it's more popular in the midwest / east. USC is great but it's like a niche at So Cal</p>
<p>2) U Mich's business is ranked almost the same as USC's Marshall. </p>
<p>3) I'd go to USC b/c I love private schools.. I learn better with 15/1 student-faculty ratio instead of 100/1. Plus, liek0806 is right, USC Marshall's Tojan Family has power and connection all around the United States. I personally think kids have more fun @ USC.</p>
