So, it's May 1, and I am totally stuck. I'm a self-proclaimed nerd from Los Angeles. I want to major in political science and, if it's offered, print journalism.
Berkeley:
Pros: Farther from home, nicer area, more overall prestigious, more intellectual, probably a better social scene for me
Cons: Huge classes, huge dorms, huge...everything, not much of a support system, no j-school and all that would provide
USC:
Pros: Fantastic journalism school, nicer campus, smaller classes, more supportive atmosphere
Cons: Not as academically prestigious overall, sporty/preppy/party atmosphere would be somewhat wrong for me, not great neighborhood, much closer to home
I don't know which school's paper is better - I've read them both and like them equally, but any experience at what it's like to work at one or thoughts differentiating the two would be great. Yes, this is an important factor.
Costs would end up being about the same.
