[quote=Anonymous]I am a OOS UCLA parent and I vote for UCLA- it is an incredible campus and surrounding area, great mix of academics and school spirit, and it is probably as close to a meritocracy that exists today. Plus, even OOS, it is about 70-80k less over 4 years. And for those where prestige/selectivity matters, USNWR ranks of the best (or tied) public school for the last 7 years, it has less than a 9% accept rate, and is the most applied school in the US. It is ranked 15 by us news (and for those who critize its new ranking, it was 20 last year) It does have triples but I wouldn't say it's overcrowded, and guarantees housing for 4 years. My kid doesn't always get into their first choice class, but either does my kids who go to small private schools. I have nothing bad to at about USC. The campus is supposed to be stunning and it's networking has an amazing reputation. I do know students who were there in the 90s during riots and the area of LA it's in gives a lot of parents pause. I would say visit both, learn about their programs, consider the cost, but don't take any advice from this forum, including myself![/quote]
