<p>Unfortunately, I would (generally) have to agree with vc08’s assesment: while USC is a VERY good and reputable school today, Berkeley is really more prestigious in the minds of many many. On the other hand, I’ve personally always favored private-school education, and from what I’ve heard from my Berkeley friends, I’ve really appreciated the small class sizes and personal attention here at USC. UPenn… well it’s Ivy-League, there is no denying that aspect. </p>
