Deciding between (USC+big merit scholarship) VS (???)

Good question. My U of Miami/engineering son felt his courses where rigorous throughout, particularly for the first two years burning through the physics, chem and math requirements. The upper class courses in industrial engineering were more reasonable in terms of rigor. “A’s” were a bit hard to come by for him but I can’t say that was due to a curve. For my son majoring in accounting in business school and minoring in info systems in engineering school at USC, he describes his first three semesters at USC as not rigorous. But now that he’s doubling up on accounting and computer classes, he’s swamped. His friends majoring in engineering faced a tough work load from the beginning. My son says the USC curve policy is inconsistent. Depends on individual professor. He’ll say things like in a certain class, no one gets an A. But that’s rare.
