<p>Accepted to both schools. Love UW, but really can't affort out-of-state tuition. It would mean taking out major loans. But I think I would be happier here. </p>
<p>USC is offering to pay more than half of my tuition, and it has a better college of engineering (my intended major). I don't really like the location, but I suppose I could learn to live with it.</p>
<p>Anyone attend either of these schools and love/hate it? </p>
<p>For those in college - When you chose your college, did you go with your "gut" and attend the school with an environment that suited you? Did you choose the school that had a better academic reputation? Did you choose the school that was most affordable? Any advice?</p>
