<p>Again, I don’t really understand what grudge donjuan78 has against USC. Yes, USC still has a “vibrant” social scene, but I’d hardly say that the USC of 2008 is the same as the USC of 1998. You’d have to be an incredibly ignorant to deny that. The school is only going up, not down. </p>
<p>No matter how much we argue, I will continue to attest that indeed, the Trojan Family is quite possibly one of the strongest in existence. But clearly, there’s no point in further flogging the dead horse, because you’re going to continue arguing the opposite of what I’m going to say. That’s not to say that graduating from Cornell will be any less impressive or prestigious, certainly not; if anything probably a lot more. Otherwise, why would I bother exercising my GT to Cornell in the first place? </p>
<p>Donjuan78, somehow you yet again demonstrate sheer unbelievable ignorance by assuming USC’s “own people” are all “rich conceited kids”; this is coming from the same person who about 3-4 months ago said that USC had significantly low rates of minority students in undergraduate admissions when compared to Cornell (but for some reason, Donjuan78, after I backed up my facts and compared them to yours, I never did get a response from you). If you choose to go along this route citing USC demographics, I’ll have to dig up the old post and paste it in here.</p>
<p>The school is large, yes, but the community is tight. But I’d guess it’d be difficult for someone like you to judge that, when I’ve been there myself, no? It doesn’t matter rich vs. poor, that’s an irrelevant attempt to dig at USC.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, I know I’m going to love Cornell. But I absolutely can’t stand it when people such as Donjuan78 blindly (and repeatedly) criticize the same things over and over again like a broken record without backing it up (and no, driving/walking around campus for a few hours or simply living in LA before does not count), especially when they argue as if USC today is like the “old” USC of the past. Absolutely inexcusable.</p>
