USC vs. UCLA vs. UCB for Business

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Southern California

<p>I'm currently trying to decide which college to attend for fall 2011 and my top choices are UC Berkeley, UCLA, and USC. I am planning on pursuing a career in business but to be honest, I am not completely sure as to what I want to do (so maybe suggest which college would be better for someone who wants to experiment from a more wide variety of classes/majors geared toward different business careers?) My long term goal may be to pursue social entrepreneurship. I was accepted into USC's Marshall School of Business. UCLA for Business Economics. UC Berkeley as a spring admit (will attend Fall Program for Freshmen if I decide to go to Cal). </p>

<p>Does anyone (preferably business students from any of these schools) have any suggestions/tips/insight on which university would best suit my interests? Thank you in advance for your help!!</p>

<p>My son is a very happy business/accounting double major at USC. He had your same decision two years ago (although not the Spring thing at SC, I’ll get to that later.) Cal was never a good match. Attending both UCLA & USC admit days secured USC as a better fit. Even though he got some merit money and freshman honors from USC, UCLA was still financially cheaper for us. We went with the fit. He has friends/fraternity buddies who came in the Spring and didn’t miss a beat. Some had to petition to transfer into Marshall, but I don’t think it was a problem.</p>

<p>That being said, if we were in your place (without our current experience) he’d be at UCLA. Haas is a wild-card because you’re not admitted until 3rd year.</p>
