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]

You don’t speak for all Californians. From my perch, USC alumni network is robust and clannish, and always willing to help each other out. The name carries weight in finance, real estate, and other business sectors. Trojan pride is a real thing in Southern California. There is no other school that has the same level of school spirit or networking. UCLA is also a fantastic school and the better option for financial reasons. But having UCLA on your resume is not going to help you to the same degree as USC. [/quote]
