CA Resident, family makes less than 80k/year.
Intended major: econ/quant econ/business analysis/adjacent field
I need help choosing between USC and UCD. Here are my thoughts, and I appreciate any feedback:
USC:
Pros:
Location (everyone ik is going to socal/LA)
Lots of aid bc its a rich private school
Possibility for connections and opportunities
Big change of pace for my life (bay area to LA)
Cons:
Distance from home
Cost could be high
Major? (Admitted Econ B.A in Letters and Science)
Socially I may have to adapt to something new
UCD:
Pros:
Major (Managerial econ) gets everyone jobs after graduation
Location (Nearby)
Cost (UC, likely to get a lot of aid)
Campus (I like it)
Things to do
Cons:
Concerned about student population
Location (kind of middle of nowhere)
Idk anyone there
My biggest concern is just the major at USC. Is the higher amount of pros of USC worth giving up the stability of Managerial Econ at UCD? Thank you all for your help!

usc no question

#

p sure a usc econ degree carries way more weight than a davis business degree no matter what you wanna do

need help with this one

#

im so leaning towards UCD bc of the culture, etc

#

and the tuition

#

im planning on doing public health/public policy

#

davis is closer for me since i live in the bay area so I would love the flexibility for weekends at home, etc since im close with my family

#

but LA is lit too

#

also im just not looking for a party school in any way
