[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USC has a mixed reputation for most people not living outside California. Lots of celebrity kids, admissions scandals, and tons of community college transfers. It is crazy to me that a school like USC gets 70,000 applicants eager to pay $[b]90,000 a year.[/b] Absolutely blows my mind! I get the appeal of warm weather, but this is bonkers. [/quote]

USC has an even worse reputation for people living in California, since the UC schools are better and way cheaper and in better locations.  Back in my day, the only kids who went to USC were USC legacies or kids who couldn't get into UCLA but wanted to stay in L.A.[/quote]

Exactly, back in your day, the rest of the world has moved on grandma.[/quote]

That's the spirit.  Rah rah rah. Our school is the best![/quote]

It’s now $99,462 a year. And, yes, So. Californians look down on it. Even those of us who had family go there.[/quote]

Sadly it’s in line with other private colleges. [/quote]

No. It’s the one that leads the pack. It was the first one to hover over $90k only a few years ago - then the rest followed. I am aware of only 2 over $100k - NYU and a SLAC in Colorado. The rest are $94-$96, but the moment USC goes over, the rest will follow. USC is actually over now because it allots only $462 for travel. You can tell it doesn’t want to be the one big name to attract attention when it goes over $100k.[/quote]

USC is also different from typical privates because most private universities are smaller, and most universities of comparable size are public and thus less expensive, even for OOS. [/quote]
