<p>Aside from the private vs. public and cost things, why?</p>
<p>Is there something else that USC has that UCLA does not?</p>
<p>"You are a Bruin for 4 years, but a Trojan for life."</p>
<p>Threads about choosing a college after being admitted belong in the College Search & Selection forum, not in the College Admissions Forum, naturally. Good luck at finding advice for making a suitable decision.</p>
<p>Then don't moderators move them?</p>
<p>I wouldn't. Personally, it comes down to area and cost.</p>
<p>This wasn't a question about choosing a school after being admitted. I am a parent, and my D did not apply to UCLA. I simply noticed that a lot of people seem to compare the two schools, and I would like to know why they might choose USC over UCLA.</p>
<p>Large universities with lecture halls are overrated for undergrad.</p>
<p>WOuld that be UCLA you are talking about, TheOC89?</p>
<p>USC is a little smaller and more personal. Class sizes will be a bit smaller and supposedly professors are more accessible. Additionally the campus is less cramped and although it is in a bad part of town, it is grossly exaggerated.</p>
<p>Academics wise USC is well-known for Business, Communication, and Film, and the "Trojan Family" will probably give you better connections and job opportunities than any ordinary Bruin could find. </p>
<p>Buy hey, what do I know, right?</p>
<p>I'd pick USC if I was well-off and I wanted my kids to go to school with other well-off kids.</p>
<p>USC is waaay more original than baby Cal. ;)</p>
