<p>Darth,</p>
<p>Are you sure you will be able to enroll in the classes you need? SC can be less expensive if it takes you five years to complete your major at UCLA. Class size at UCLA is something to consider. Faculty student ratio at SC 1/9, at UCLA 1/19. Introductory classes at both universities will be larger, but your classes will be smaller at SC. Have you checked out internship opportunities, age of facilities, access to professors and academic support. I think SC does very well in those key areas. The Trojan family is not a myth.

<p>Is there a chance your interest in computer science may lean to the CS/Games major in Viterbi? If so, that is a fantastic program if you change your mind about straight CS.</p>
<p>One brother is a graduate of SC’s engineering school in civil engineering. He passed the test to become a registered engineer the first time. He mentioned his studies at SC prepared him well for the examination and for a career in that field.</p>
