<p>If you are considering economic, University of Chicago is the first school that comes to mind. The thing about this school is that is very academic oriented so either you love the school or you hate. The students tend to be quirky though but without a doubt University of Chicago is an excellent school that look upon very favorably by employers and graduate schools. </p>
<p>Another school that you and some other have mentioned that is a great university is UCLA. UCLA is a very well rounded school that has just about everything. It has the good academics, the sports, the professors, the opportunities, etc and its located in LA. I’m pretty sure UCLA has a strong economics and psychology programs. For undergrad, economic is pretty much the same at every university. Its the graduates school where you begin to see the real difference.</p>
