Thoughts on USC

[Anonymous]

USC is facing some major financial challenges. The structural deficit will require significant reductions in academic and student life services. I would keep an eye out to look for updates on this issue.

Yes, USC is at the top of the list - I've got $73k tuition and $21k room/board.

But it's not that much more than many others (numbers rounded)

Georgetown: $71k/$20k
Wake Forest: $70k/$19k
DAvidson: $69k/$18k
Villanova: $69k/$17k
Franklin & Marshall: $72k/$17k
Notre Dame: $66k/$18k

The difference between $94k for USC and $89k for Franklin & Marshall is just not that much.

Uh USC is now $99k a year. Google USC cost of attendance and go to the USC website.
