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]

Granny, we don't live in the 1980s anymore.

Rest of the world is in 2025.[/quote]
Thanks for that. It's one of the most unfairly, IMO, pilloried schools on this and other forums.

Sure, it's risen in the rankings, but it seems like it's legitimate. Steve Sample made a real effort to turn it into an academically respected, well-ranked university - making undergrad admission much more selective, investing heavily in grad programs, increasing its international footprint, among other things - and by all accounts, succeeded.[/quote]
