USC vs NYU for political sciences

<p>Hi there everyone!
I'm an Italian student and I'll be finishing high school this june and I am stuck between two great uni's for the future. I'd like to study in the area of the political sciences, and let me just point out that I live in Rome (Italy) and it's hard for me to get some honest advice from people who know about these universities. NYU put me in its liberal studies program which means I'd spend the first year in London, while at USC I've been accepted at the college of Arts and Sciences. So basically I wonder which school is better accredited in this area, or which city, L.A or New York would provide better future jobs in this area. I am sure both options would work out well for me, but I was just looking for some advice, thanks in advance</p>

<p>That’s a tough call. I’d personally choose NYU becuase of area and NYC. USC is located in a less than desirable area of LA though its still a great school. As far as academics, I’d say they’re about equal. (certain advantages at NYU, same with USC, I think its a little smaller)</p>
