<p>If I were you. But again, I am not young like you any more.</p>
<p>In real life (not cyber world), USC is respected to its appropriate level. I know that since a lot of my family memebrs are USC grads.</p>
<p>It is good to have a competitive rival, but it is unfortunate to have a nasty, mean spirited one. When you deal with them, you need to remember this, even though a lot of UCLA people are respectable, intelligent, such as KFC, UCLAri on this board. Later you will inevitably meet some of bitter, loserly ones, students or alumni. What you need to do is just to succeed, and ignore because they really do not matter, to your life and career.</p>
<p>UCLA is particularly bitter in the relationship of rivalry, which shows their insecurity. Look at other rivalry pairs, UMich & Ohio State, UVa & VTech, Duke & UNC, the academic discrepancies between those schools are significantly larger than between UCLA&USC, but you've hardly seen harsh bashing like UCLA people did. This really show how well a California public education is compared to other states.</p>
<p>Of course there will be people who know a little yet say so much. Again I guarantee you they won't matter at all regarding any aspect of life.</p>
