[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are looking at USC as a top choice school, what other schools is your DC looking at?[/quote]

If I had a son I wouldn't rule it out, but USC is not a good school for girls.  The Greek culture is very misogynistic with girls routinely being "transported" to the hospital in alcohol related incidents.  The entire row was shut down for part of the year and several fraternities were shut down in recent years.  You daughter will also have to keep up with the fast life of the Cali girls or be left out of the social scene.  Drugs are everywhere and the campus us adjacent one of the most dangerous areas in the United States, the "southland" of LA.  A street smart young man may be able to navigate the dangers and reap the "rewards" of that frat boy culture, but it's lose-lose for girls.

UCLA is a much better choice for girls.

I'd say the closest "comparables" are the so-called Southern Ivies that have a similar misogynistic frat boy culture with little economic diversity.
