“conquest” has to be the easiest fight song in the country to memorize. They repeat the same line for the ENTIRE song. one of the commentators at the USC-oregon game last year was making fun of it for the same reason, but it’s completely true!</p>
<p>so i give UVA points for the better fight song (and mascot)…</p>

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I suppose, but I firmly disagree. After making MULTIPLE visits myself, and knowing many, many many people who attend, I have to say that there is a legitimate reason why it’s known in SoCal as the “University of Spoiled Children.” Heck, I have a friend who goes there and even she calls it that! USC carries a very love-hate relationship, I think. Either you’re an alum/student and you love it, or you’re the rest of the state and you passionately dislike it. Perhaps that’s not as apparent in other parts of the country, but here in CA it sure is.</p>
<p>but, like phorid said, Marshall is an excellent program…however, I would compare the schools on their own before making a decision. Virginia has more stronger programs, but Marshall is great. Where do you see yourself happiest? And I would like to re-emphasize that it’s South Central LA, not Bel Air. Some people could care less about having a college town, but if you want one, don’t overlook the differences.</p>
<p>haha and melli, I’m curious as well…</p>
