UCLA vs. USC (out-of-state)

Don’t forget the homeless. LA is littered with them everywhere. I’d pass on the whole area.

USC is literally in one of the worst neighborhoods of Los Angeles and is full of spoiled rich kids who legacy status helped to buy their way in. Its ranking is far worse than UCLA.

I view them as exact equals, and before first gen/pell grant became the basis for ranking, USC was ranked ahead of UCLA.

I actually think this is more of an issue in Westwood. USC retains a secure campus.

I recall the recruiting scandals a few years ago where celebrity parents bought their kids in. I really have to question some of their degree granting.

Just go off campus one block. Seriously, nobody stays on campus anywhere 24-7 unless it’s a prison.

UCLA was ranked ahead of USC before the gen/pell grant became a thing.

Agreed.
USC professor told the students in one 300 level class, if you don’t have an internship lined up for the summer, let us know. We will find one for you.
To the person who asked ‘why pick a school for the landscaping?!’’…. It’s obviously not about the horticulture dummy, it’s the Resources of a prviate institution.

There's more local, non-rich kids at UCLA almost everyone at USC is loaded.

No it wasn’t although they generally have been within a few places of one another.

I think this is where I end up unless kid really prefers some aspect of UCLA. I just can’t wrap my head around paying private school prices for a public university. Different story if in state tuition, but op already clarified that isn’t the case here.
