I am choosing USC because of the better chances to get into research with a professor (I don’t have to email 25-30 asking to take me like at UCLA)

While this is true, UCLA is still a significantly better university than USC in terms of getting into med school or receiving a PhD. UCLA is significantly better represented at top med schools compared to USC.



also there is less shady people at USC as opposed to UCLA

USC is located in the ghetto. There is potential for race riots and there are numerous accounts of people being mugged a block across the street. -.-
