@Mimi2018 Glad you enjoyed it! The students at UO were so incredibly nice and real people if that makes sense. GSH is something else and was a big draw for mine - not so much cause it was honors, but because it was so gorgeous. And being able to live on a language immersion floor was interesting for her. There are a lot of room configurations options there. We were OOS so she got that OOS scholarship which helped, but it was pretty much offset by the higher tuition for honors and choosing a “high end” room in GSH. Money wasn’t an influencing factor for us, but did want to point out that you can inch your costs up by making certain choices there. They have some really interesting summer study and credit opportunities - to some really interesting places and neat courses - you may want to look into those as well. Happy to help with anything USC over on that forum and @CAtransplant has you covered over here. 
Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
