I am a senior in high school deciding between WFU and USC. I realize they are very different but I'm very torn between the two schools. I was wondering if any current students or alumn at either school could provide some insight?? It would be greatly appreciated!

I've visited USC twice and really loved it. The professors seemed really intelligent and like they wanted their students to approach them about their studies. I love football so USC, of course, satisfies that. I've also heard the alumni are amazing. I'm from the east coast so I'm concerned with the fact that the reputation doesn't necessarily extend out here, most people think of as a public school even though the academics are really strong.
I've never visited Wake Forest, though I am soon. I'm a little concerned with that small a student body and making sure that even though it's "Work Forest" and in a small time, the social aspect still exists.
I'm looking for a college that will provide me with a lot of opportunities post-graduation as well as plenty of fun opportunities during the process.

Give more info on what your looking for... that would help people answer your question but yes, they are completely different. USC is definitely a football and party school. Supposedly our (Frat) Row is infamous and there are crazy parties there mostly on thurs thru sat. It also is very strong academically in Business and other majors, but your extracurricular life will never be bored.

Without knowing your course of study, I'd choose USC. Having been an east coaster for most of my life and now being out west, I think that USC has a much broader reach in the workplace than WFU.

These schools are both well respected, and both could provide you with a good education. But they are TOTALLY different in terms of what kind of experience you are going to have at school.
Either you prefer a rather conservative, religious student body, in a not very interesting small city in the South, or you want to go to school in LA with a bunch of wild and crazy Californians.
To me, this would not even be a choice at all. But I guess it depends what is important to you. How in the world did you ever come to apply to two such totally different schools?

I was at Wake last week and thought it was pretty cool. Why did you pick it? Thanks for the answers, too!
