<p>I've been accepted to USC, NYU, Brandeis, Barnard College of Columbia Univ, and will probably be admitted to Georgetown (my brother goes there)
USC, Brandeis, and Barnard offered me so much money, I'm only paying about $2000. I haven't received my NYU one yet, but I hear the aid is generous. And if I get admitted to GTown, it will be a full ride (like my bro) -> Im thinking about Pre Med or Business for my major. What school is better for each? Also, I'm a Cali girl, what school could work? (I know the obvious answer would be USC)
Also what school has a better campus , students, professors, etc?
I won't be able to visit. Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>NYU too urban, doesn’t have a cohesive campus and liberal artsy, USC lots of spirit but in Compton, Brandeis is politically active but small and not diverse, not sure about Barnard, Georgetown is beautiful and intellectual but a bit too snobby and conservative. Honestly I would go to Georgetown because I love DC and it is clearly the most prestigious of all the ones you listed, though if one of the others has a better Pre Med or Business program then go there.</p>

<p>SC is not located in Compton. It is about three miles from the Civic Center in Los Angeles. Two metro stations are now on campus, so the Los Angeles Music Center, Disney Symphony Hall, theaters, art galleries, Staples Center and museums are only two stops away. The campus itself is known for the many fountains, landscaped courtyards and tropical flowering trees.</p>
<p>University Village has been approved which will extend the campus with added dorms, academic buildings, plaza, shopping, restaurants and boutique hotel.</p>
<p>USC’s undergraduate business school has received a huge donation for a brand new complex. Specialties within Marshall such as accounting, real estate, entrepreneurship and international business are all ranked in the top 5 by U.S. News.</p>
<pre><code>USC has photos, videos, virtual tour and comments by students on their website. It will give you more of an idea about student life there.

<p>I have visited some of the colleges that you visited and I found Barnard to be my top choice because it had a strong sense of home-y ness and also felt like such a nice community. it literally is in the middle of the city and when you get on their campus, you do not feel like you are in the city.
Brandeis also is an amazing school. while not as beautiful as Barnard, it has some really smart students and is really well known. boston is a great city if you’re thinking about traveling and i hear they give good financial aid</p>
