This is a hard choice.  I don’t envy your position in having to choose between great universities across the nation.  I’m fairly certain you are making list after list of pros and cons….ultimately deciding they all sound way too similar… and the list gets thrown away.

I sat down with some of our alumni recently to discuss their time at USC and what they have been doing since graduating.  From medical school to starting their own company, these young alumni have done it all. I am pretty sure you’ll enjoy hearing not only why they chose USC, but what they got out of their time here, and maybe a few pieces of advice as you start down the path they traveled prior.
