[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who lived for many years in California (but who first lived on the East Coast, and in the Midwest), this is my observation.

Some of the most successful, wealthiest, and connected I met in California attended USC.  [b]The USC alumni network is vibrant, strong, and incredibly deep in California, and frankly, USC gets a tremendous amount of respect in hiring and placement in that State as a result.    [/b]

Before I lived in California, I considered USC a strong regional university, similar to NYU or Northwestern.  After living in California, I would say that USC is in a different category, largely because its home is California, which is itself such an important place.

If your student plans a future in California or the West, then they cannot go wrong with USC. [/quote]

One of my dad's graduate degrees is from USC.  I have been very impressed with the contact he receives from USC - he consistently receives a veritable ton of contact ranging from letters to magazines and newsletters to meet/greet events in the DMV area.  If I had a child interested in USC then I would strongly consider it given how active the alumni office is since that activity can be an important part of establishing a network of contacts in a given professional or geographic area.[/quote]
