alphast0rm - definitely not bad choices to consider!

being from the southwest, many people from my HS went to USC. it recruits heavily from the west coast area.

i think your academic quality will be near equal in these two schools. class size may be the only difference… my experience at wash u has been very small class sizes. while i clearly haven’t taken a class at USC before, i’d imagine that they inherently couldn’t provide as small of class sizes as wash u can. otherwise, though, the quality of education isn’t a tipping factor here.

for you, the difference should come down to your feel of each campus. they are very different (architecture, location, nearby area). especially different in student body size. there is an innate difference in a school with 6,000 undergrads and a school with 15,000 undergrads. some people like one, some people like the other.
