Hey guys, been searching around for a bit and was wondering if anyone could answer my specific questions.

I’m and econ transfer student and was admitted to both USC and Berkeley for Spring 2010.

I live in So. Cal. and love it. I’ve been up to both schools and know the “herb” smell of Berkeley and the dangerous neighborhood next to SC (my mom went to USC when I was a kid so I’ve known for a while)

After I graduate, I plan on getting an MBA, either right away if possible or after I have a few years of experience.

I’ve heard Berkeley is the most prestigious but also that USC is rising up and getting close if not the same. Could you say one school is preferred by employers over the other?

Also if I lets say go to USC for my undergrad, I heard it’s frowned upon (or even impossible to go to the same school) by employers if I were to return for my grad?

Help is greatly appreciated! =] Thanks!
