<p>Hey guys I just wanted to hear some opinions on which school I should attend because I have been lucky to be admitted to both and can't really decide</p>
<p>Money is not really an issue because with the grant that USC is giving me..the fees will pretty much be close to the same amount</p>
<p>my major is psychology</p>
<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>UCLA > monkey feces > Bush > Simon Cowell > USC</p>
<p>Go to USC!</p>
<p>FIGHT ON!</p>
<p>ucla is in a better neighborhood, go there.</p>
<p>ucla is ranked higher, that is, if you care about rankings</p>
<p>Since your major is Psyc, UCLA for sure. I can't believe Nikkei says USC. LOL.</p>
<p>UCLA go Bruins!!! I have finally chosen UCLA (math--applied science major) and turned down UCB (math major #1 in the nation) and USC (electrical engineering major #9 in the nation better than UCLA engineering #15 if you care about ranking). It has been such a tough decision but anyways, UCLA--GO BRUINS!!!!!</p>
<p>Congrats. Hopefully I'll be joining u (pre-bus econ)</p>
<p>kevin: UCLA EE is 13...see u in class...!!</p>
<p>USC all the way!</p>
<p>UCLA for psych. hands down.</p>
<p>go to csun. j/k</p>
<p>UCLA of course. tuition is actually affordable.</p>
<p>Have you visited either of them yet? If you have not, you should and then decide.</p>
<p>I still can't believe two people said USC. LMAO! I think they both are also psyc majors who've applied to UCLA and want to reduce the competition.</p>
<p>well that sucks for them then cuz ive decided on ucla hah</p>
<p>USC do have strong alumni networking so with a degree in USC, you would find job easily; I have visitted their engineering open house, and I found out that they offer great programs with lots of opportunities for intership, researches, good honors program... even for the undergraduate levels; and ALL classes are taught by PROFESSORS; they have one of the career center where you can do your job interview and hired by some big companies... and so on. USC, from a non-biased point of view, is still one of the great universitiy in the U.S. as well as in the world. </p>
<p>This is not a debate between which one is superior than the other. so please keep that in mind.
Please share your NON-biased information about pros and cons for both UCLA and USC. Many of us would love to hear this.</p>
<p>in addition to what Kevin101 said which i more or less agree with, USC has a more diverse student body. that's not to say UCLA doesn't have diversity, so don't give me flak for thinking the place is swarming with this kind of person or that kind of person. just that USC is MORE diverse. at UCLA, they often mentioned and willingly joked about how engineering students should (and i quote from a professor and students during an Open House discussion) "forget going to the beach" and how as an engineer it "probably isn't a good idea to make lots of friends on the North Campus [liberal arts, i assume]". at USC, i didn't get that at all...the closest i got was "well...it's not like the Comm majors who have it easier, but engineers do have lives and we like to have fun [however engineers have fun... :D ]."</p>
<p>i toured UCLA and LOVED the campus and the feel that i got. but...unless you have a Regents' Scholarship (which i just missed...the only UC that didnt give me one), as an undergrad you'll probably be a peon. i also heard that because of the sheer size of the undergrad population, it's hard to get classes and fewer classes would be taught by professors. to cap it all off...UCLA didn't have a minor that i would be willing to take (Music Recording).</p>
<p>i dont know about UCLA, but USC has mandatory advisement after each semester, so it'd be hard not to get the class you were after, take the wrong class, or graduate later than you wanted. i think USC offered a greater diversity of majors, and definitely a greater diversity of minors, which goes along with the idea that USC really promotes interdisciplinary study and well-roundedness. and...having one of the best film AND music schools in the nation, you could benefit from elective classes in those areas, or just benefit from the culture of having those there.</p>
<p>Westwood is probably one of the greatest college towns (is it a town?) to be in...i really wish USC had something like that. the social life in general is probably equatable, but immediately off campus there's probably less to do at USC (although i got the vibe that something interesting was always happening on the USC campus).</p>
