All are great schools; it depends what you want to do and who you are. I fell in love with the campus and atmosphere at UC San Diego, which was really a mistake for me, given my major. It would have been great if I had been in the sciences, but I wasn't. Fortunately, I didn't get in there, and ended up at UCLA. UCLA is huge, and thus has an incredible variety of possibilities for someone who hasn't yet decided what they want to do and who is comfortable in that kind of setting. I personally got lost. I had a lot of trouble finding a regular group of friends; classes were so huge that I didn't get to talk to the same people repeatedly, so I didn't have a chance to develop friendships, and my major was such that every time there was a social event in the dorms, I was in rehearsal. I've never been a student at USC, but have so many friends and family who were, and I've been to so many different events on campus, that I feel like I have some understanding of it. To begin with, you have to consider that as the only private school of the group, it is far more expensive than the others, which was why it was never an option for me. They have some programs which are unparalleled at other schools, and if you are in one of those fields, then you should seriously look at it. The diversity is somewhat less than that at the other schools, although there are more international students, and some people are concerned about fitting in with a generally rather wealthy student body. Neighborhood is another issue. UCSD is in a gorgeous suburb, UCLA is in a wealthy part of the city, while USC is in an economically depressed part of town. So, as I said, it really depends on what you want and what you are comfortable with.
