Yikes - Annual Total $99,139

The other USC seems appealing to me now. [/quote]

Yea, the cost isn’t chump. BTW, there is only one USC, and it is in California.  And I say this as someone who was born and raised in the Deep South.[/quote]

Yet, us Californians are not impressed with it for a number of reasons starting with location and the University of Spoiled Children reputation, which I witnessed first hand. USC has shot up the rankings using marketing experts, just as has Northeastern and Chicago. If you want that reputation for $99k, go for it but my kids certainly did not. If your kid is stuck on the “allure” of California, have them a) stay out there a week to make sure they want it -just going in and out of LAX should quench anyone’s desire, and b) look at UCLA … much better reputation and less expensive. Both tough admits.[/quote]

I think a lot of USC's success can be explained by its strength in engineering and business, which differentiates it from a lot of peer schools. Engineering and increasingly business gets a lot of very smart students. Not a lot of Spoiled Children in mechanical engineering. [/quote]
