USC vs. RICE University

<p>im planning on being an econ major and i live 45 minutes south of USC.
so which is better:</p>

<p>usc with a full scholarship </p>

<p>or rice with a 20k scholarship.. which would make the cost about 10k a year. </p>

<p>opinions?
i know they're very different schools but i can see myself very happy at either.</p>

<p>usc. close to home...if you like that. better sports. econ programs are probably about similar at both--but you have more options at usc should you decide to change your mind.</p>

<p>Rice is a great school but I would not choose it over USC for Econ major. I suggest you look at the study abroad programs at both schools for Econ major and see where you will expand your horizons. Marshall business is very global oriented should you decide to major or minor at Marshall.</p>
