UCLA >>>>>> USC
Not even a contest.... maybe in certain specific areas of study, but overall its not even a contest. Most of the people stating otherwise simply attend USC or are biased. I dont attend either university, yet the departmental rankings and overall rankings, prestige, ect. clearly point to UCLA as the superior University.
