<p>At an architect’s salary, that would take you a lifetime to pay off. I am a practicing architect, and a lot of my colleagues are in the same place in our careers, but they’re still paying off their private education while I am traveling the world and learning more than I would have from an Ivy league. Overall, USC is a better university and if you get scholarships go there, but Pomona architecture has more well rounded students and professors than the university as a whole. Have you looked into the IGE (inter-disciplinary general education) courses. This is a liberal arts program that offsets the techie mentality that comes with being in an engineering focused university. </p>
