Assuming that you are interested in academics, and both USC and BC are stellar choices, questions about the social scene and school spirit are fair. If not, there are a ton of party schools that have less focus on academics that would be a better fit for you.

I have friends at both schools and the school spirit is very strong at USC and BC. Students are very proud to be associated with the schools independent of athletics but when the teams do well it is a little easier to get excited. USC always puts forth a strong football team. BC football has had less consistency but the students always have fun at the games. BC hockey is consistently good and has recently won national championships.

The social scene is vibrant at both schools although USC is dominated by fraternities and sororities which have their pros and cons. BC does not have a Greek system so it takes a little more effort to create social opportunities but it is a very open campus and easy to meet a lot of new people.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
