<p>I'm not really sure which one would be better to go to: University of Washington Seattle or University of Southern California. I'm out of state for UW so the costs of the two schools are about the same after aid/scholarships, UW is 32k a year and USC is 33k a year. I'm going to do applied math as my major or possibly pure math, not completely sure yet. I was just wondering which one would be better. Also, I like rain a lot, so aside from the cold, I enjoy the weather in Seattle so that isn't a problem. Does anyone have any advice/opinions on which one would be best? Thank you.</p>
<p>Also, I have done a dual enrollment program in my state where I will graduate high school this year with 66 college semester credits, most of which are transferable to UW and so I'll start with like 80-90 quarter credits if I go there. USC will accept a maximum of 16 credits from dual enrollment, so I'd have to spend significantly more time at USC.</p>
<p>Visit both schools, which are each good choices. I love UW but I have to say most of the UW kids and alumni I’ve met say “wow” when I tell them I’m a USC Trojan…USC has a great reputation in Seattle. But, a math major at any PAC 12 school will open doors!</p>

<p>USC if there’s anything you’re going to need as a math major after graduating is a network of people who know people - which USC will provide. </p>
<p>Also, where do you want to work or live? If its Southern California then that’s where you want to go to school and establish a network. 90% of the people that find jobs is because they knew someone’s that knew someone. In SoCal their network is established and carries weight.</p>
<p>I’d like to live in the Pacific Northwest region after graduating. So it seems more appealing to go to UW for that aspect. But I do really like USC and I know people going there whereas I don’t know anyone who will be going to UW next year. And I know USC has really good networking, but from what I’ve gathered their math department isn’t as good as their comp sci/engineering when it comes to getting jobs.</p>
<p>All those credits at UW, you want to work in that area and like/don’t mind the weather? Seems like there is a logical choice here, unless you are just going for different. You could go to grad school somewhere else for experience. It sounds like you could cover undergrad and grad school with all the time and money you will save at UW. USC really not the same cost cause it seems you will be there longer than UW. UW has great spirit and community support and it’s a beautiful campus. But can’t go wrong with either choice.</p>
