USC vs. UCLA

<p>I was accepted to the Marshall School of Business. Also accepted to UCLA as Pre-International Economics. </p>

<p>I hope to major in International Business and do not know which school to choose. I am leaning towards USC because of its strong business program. Is this the better decision? I'll be living at home so USC will be about $16k more expensive than UCLA. I didn't receive any financial aid. Thanks for the help.</p>

<p>I assume you've visited both, being in the area. They have a different "feel" as to the college experience, first of all. Second, I do think that UCLA's econ is very theoretical & USC's Marshall School is more practical and real business. For reputation as a business school, UCLA's is their graduate program at Anderson, of course. But saving the money is key -- especially if you want to go to grad school!!! (A great combo = UCLA undergrad with USC's graduate school of Marshall...) My two cents. </p>

<p>PS I'm a UCLA grad who went to graduate school at USC's Annenberg. :)</p>

<p>Thanks for the advice. I'll take out loans if I have to. I'm hoping to go to UChicago GSB for graduate.</p>
