Cal Poly SLO vs USC Spring Admit

If you are planning on attending USC after fall semester, I think education abroad (especially at a school that has a relationship with USC) will be a better experience from a social stand point.

From USC’s Spring Admit Next Steps page

Study Abroad
USC has established agreements with these five American institutions in Europe. Each is U.S. accredited and provides instruction in English. Each school has its own brief, fast-tracked application in the links provided below. Students will stay connected as a USC-bound cohort, o upon returning to the U.S., you will have an instant network of fellow Trojans. Space may be limited, so apply soon.

American University of Paris
Franklin University Switzerland
Richmond, The American International University in London
John Cabot University, Rome
Anglo-American University, Prague

Please do not hesitate to contact sdpesd@usc.edu if you have any questions about one of our agreement institutions.

And

Four-Year Options
Do not enroll in a four-year college under the false pretense of finishing your degree there. Doing so may take up a valuable space for someone else who wanted to attend the school. Enroll as a non–degree seeking student or in a continuing education program.
