College Search & Selection

<p>i got waitlisted at Duke too, but have totally ruled it out ... and i'm pretty set on Vandy, i love the way the greek life operates, and i love the feel of the campus (though i love LA and USC is an amazing school) .... i think about it this way, transferring from Vandy to USC is much easier than vice versa</p>

<p>If you want to do engineering it isn't a hard choice at all ...</p>

<ol>
<li>Frat Row at USC is untouchable and renown on the west coast for being THE place for parties. But they also keep things reasonably disciplined and orderly, so it's all put together quite well. They will crack down on fraternities that push the line.</li>

<p>I'd choose Vanderbilt in a heartbeat.</p>
