<p>Go to UCLA. The excessive debt is just not worth it. They are both great schools, but the price difference makes UCLA a better choice. I can’t believe in this climate that USC is raising tuition by that much. I have had children at USC for the last few years and EVERY year they have increased tuition and after the first year they took away grants. It had nothing to do with performance as both my kids have always been on the Dean’s list and our income did not increase, however tuition did increase! At that point, you are stuck and just have to suck it up.</p>
