I guess families need to do the research and figure out what’s best for them. Is a USC experience really worth that much? To some people it might be! Depends on the person! I know a USC grad who’s working in a bookstore, I know one who works for a hotsy accounting firm…and I know one who works as a speech therapist for the school district…Smart kids will bloom where they’re planted…
I also know plenty of non-USC alums who’ve done well and had success in life and made wonderful friendships both in and out of college…
