Hi everyone, here are my options. Any input would be great!

1) USC- major: accounting (which I love!, wouldn’t mind being a CPA) w a minor in economics; I’ve always wanted to go to USC (went to comm. college after high school cuz financially USC would have been a stretch for my family had I gone for all 4 yrs of undergrad); Financially it’d end up costing my family about 9 grand a year (imo, not too bad!) My family has enough money saved up so I wouldn’t have to take out loans to pay for it or anything.
2) UCLA- major: business econ (…hopefully w an accounting minor, but idk how hard it is to get into the accounting minor program); I like economics a lot, but don’t necessarily love it- Honestly, no offense to anyone, but I’m not a huge UCLA fan. The campus is reallyyyy big & I’m not really a West LA person, but I could adjust if I end up choosing UCLA. Financially, UCLA would be pretty great cuz tuition would be covered, I’d live w my aunt about 30 min away so rent would be free, & w the scholarship they gave me I’d have 9 grand for books & personal expenses. **parking is another concern for me as far as UCLA goes since I wouldn’t be living on-campus.
3) UCI-major: business admin w an emphasis in accounting- I visited UCI recently & I really liked it! The campus isn’t too big & the people seem friendly. I hear the business program is pretty small, which is a plus for me, but it’s pretty new so idk how good it is. Financially I’d have about 4 grand left over for books & personal expenses after the scholarship they gave me.

Which would you guys (and girls) pick?
