<p>I'm stuck between the two colleges. I'm in-state for UW so it definitely will cost less and I'd be part of the honors program, so class size wouldn't be a big issue. I'm and incoming engineering major, so would UW honors be useless in pursuing engineering?</p>
<p>And then USC which has a better ranked engineering program and connections. Plus the campus atmosphere is better, in my opinion. Which would be the better long-term option??</p>
<p>If I were you I would probably go to USC just because it has a better undergrad engineering program. Do you know how much more it would cost to go to USC?</p>
<p>If money isn’t a huge issue, I’d definitely choose USC.</p>
<p>USC would cost $20k more than UW. that may change as the budgets of each college changes though</p>
<p>You really like the USC campus better than UW campus? I live in LA and no way would I want to live in the neighborhood around USC…UGH!</p>
<p>It sounds like you’d be happier at USC. Is money an issue for you, or are you able to attend USC?</p>
<p>I am able to afford both colleges. I was just wondering if it’s a wise decision to go to USC over UW for engineering… in terms of prestige, job placement, and overall education. Thanks!</p>
<p>Which engineering program are you specifically looking at? If you have an idea now (Leaning towards CSE? EE? ME? CE? etc) then you can take a look at the internship opportunities near the area, what types of companies come to job fairs, etc.</p>
<p>What speedsolver said. The quality of a specific major is arguably a more important criterion than the quality of a program as a whole. For example, if you’re thinking about doing Bioe or CS, then UW is a stronger contender than USC.</p>
<p>If money is not an issue, USC HANDS DOWN.</p>
