Why Do So Many CC Posters Dislike USC?

I am just saying that bragging about a large percentage of minuscule merit awards is yet another way of “gaming” the system. I don’t have a grudge against USC; if it had been as generous as Miami, I would have had to resign myself to my son going there (I think he slightly preferred it, and I do think it was better for his intended major). I say “resign” because I am one of the Never-California people. Twonof my brothers are there, and always trying to tempt the others to join them in their “perfect weather”, but wildfires, mudslides, earthquakes, drought, and housing prices alone would be enough for me; however, I also just have an irrational but very common resistance to the very idea of California. The ocean is COLD. It’s full of sharks, and it is on the WRONG SIDE.

I didn’t want him to go to Cali because I didn’t want him to like it. It’s like dog people and cat people. You can’t make a rational argument; it is just a THING.
