<p>The schools couldn’t be more different - size, socially, location, academic options, etc, etc, etc, - while both private Chapman is very small, and USC is so much bigger in many ways - population, spirit, well known - etc. Has she factored all these in? Is she really happy with her decision? If money is the issue then it is - and both schools are expensive but it sounds like you have help at Chapman. If $ was the same, I assume it would be USC all the way…It is difficult to turn down a great school and something many kids have to do or decide to do. Hope you both have peace in the decision!</p>
