Not to mention one step outside of USC is a ghetto.
+1. I agree with this. And I'm a So-Californian. I would never send my kid to USC. While it has climbed the rankings, most locals still consider it the overpriced University of Spoiled Children. The location is awful. You have to drive to get anywhere (good luck with that with the traffic). The air quality is poor. Everything around the university is congested. There is too much emphasis on appearance. You are two exists from Watts. It your kid just wants to party and be with the pretty people for four years - and you want to pay for it - then I guess OK. I don't consider it a good undergrad experience from an academic point of view. And, yes, I have relatives who went to USC and did very little with their degree other than become pretty real estate agents. You can do better. I would Hire a Michigan grad over USC any day of the week. Also, you don't have to go through LAX to get to Michigan
