So I was accepted into UCLA, UC Berkeley, and received a half-tuition scholarship to USC. I really want to go to USC. My high school boyfriend wanted to go to Berkeley but was waitlisted and he also got accepted to USC and UCSD. He also wants to go to USC now. The problem is I wanted to go to a different college than him and start a new college life and make more friends and escape the high school life. What should I do?

They are only giving you ½ tuition. It does not include your housing and board which (after your ½ tuition) is more than UCLA and UCB's total costs.
2017-2018 Undergraduate Estimate of Costs
Tuition $53,448
Fees $875
Room and board* $14,886
Books and supplies $1,200
Personal and miscellaneous $1,324
Transportation $540
Total** $72,273

This is what I've added together less your scholarship of ½ tuition:
$26,724 (the other ½ of tuition)
+$14,886 (room and board)
=$41,610
UCLA (resident tuition, R&B and fees)
=$34,191

Are you a non-resident?
If you are, then the fees at the UC's would be more.
Can he afford $72K per year?
