WVU is the flagship state school in one of the least diverse and more impoverished states in the country. USC is one of the most diverse and progressive private universities in the country. It is located a couple of miles from the rapidly revitalizing heart of downtown Los Angeles and a 20 minute ride from Hollywood. California has the 3rd highest life expectancy in the nation. West Virginia has the 50th.

Both universities have football teams. I’ve lived in both places, plus or minus a 100 miles. Not much is similar. Students are proud of their schools on both campuses. There is really good caving and hiking and OK skiing in West Virginia. There is great scuba diving, surfing, hiking and skiing in in California. Visit both places. You will like one more than the other.

WVU is ranked 165 in the US News and World Report Rankings of National Universities. USC is number 24. This is a very big difference.
