Hi there:

Our daughter chose Pomona over many other more “prestigious” and Ivy schools because of the intimacy of the academic experience and overall quality of its undergraduate education. She has never looked back, loves very aspect of the school, meets regularly for lunch with her profs and is fulfilling herself in every way. When she is off for break or vacation, she can’t wait to get back to Pomona and her many new friends there.

Each to his or her own, I know, but to cannga’s point, there is one very good reason we didn’t look too closely at USC and that is campus location. Our fears were confirmed recently by this unfortunate tragedy:

Good luck, wherever you decide to attend.
