I think your nephew would have to decide if the school culture is right for him. My son was offered a half tuition scholarship at USC and was 99% sure he was going to attend there. Then he spent 2 days on campus, going to as many computer science classes as he could, and realized that for what he was looking for, it just wasn’t rigorous enough. And he didn’t get the sense that the engineering students he met were as bright or as focused as the kids he had met at Cal. In the end, he chose Cal instead, which was a better fit for his personality. But for the right kids, USC sounds like a lot of fun.
