I know this is like the eternal LA debate, but I’m seriously torn.
If you had to choose between UCLA and USC, which one is better overall?
Campus vibe – does UCLA really feel more “laid back” compared to USC’s more “city hustle” atmosphere?
Networking & alumni – is USC’s alumni network actually that powerful for landing jobs in LA/California?
Social life – which one has the better balance between academics and student events/parties?
Cost of living – does it make a big difference since UCLA is in Westwood vs USC being closer to DTLA?
Anyone here studied at either (or both)? Which one would you recommend and why?
