Every year, the London Times ranks the best colleges in the world. In the most recent edition of the Times Higher Education Supplement, UCLA was ranked number 26 in the world. Cal was ranked number 2 in the world. Stanford was ranked number 7. Where do you think USC was ranked in the world?
USC was ranked number 180 in the world by the London Times! I guess your entrance requirements aren't helping you much.
US News had UCLA ranked at number 25, Cal ranked at number 21, and USC ranked at number 30 for this year. That's because they consider the amount of money alumni give to each school. Of course private schools like USC will have inflated rankings in the US News guide. And even with that, UCLA is ranked higher in the US News list.
Let's see here...UCLA-26, USC-180...USC better in academics? Please!
It's a known fact that UCLA looks at more than just your scores when selecting students. Ask anybody who's been turned down by the school. You need extracurricular activities as well as high gpa and SAT scores.
And to the moron who talked about not paying $30,000 a year, if you are getting that money in loans, you will be paying it sooner or later. Maybe they didn't teach you that in South Central. I hope the Trojan alumni give you a nice job.
Congratulations on your freshman class. It's too bad that most of SC's student body was rejected by UCLA and had to settle for the old private school in the ghetto. I'm sure USC owns Stanford too because USC has a better football team than Harvard.
UCLA Anderson is ranked 14 and USC Marshall is ranked 27 according to Business Week. UCLA Anderson is ranked 11 and USC Marshall is ranked 26 according to US News. What about undergraduate business? Sure UCLA does not have an undergraduate business major, but it has business economics. Harvard and Stanford have a business major? WRONG. Please don't tell me University of Southern California will be a better preparation for a business career than Harvard or Stanford. Many Ivy league students who go into investment banking major in economics. According to US News, UCLA Economics is ranked 11 in the nation, and USC is not even in the top 25.

A university located in London, Ontario, Canada. The University of Western Ontario, commonly known as either Western or UWO, was founded in 1878 and is thus one of the oldest universities in Canada.
Western's student body is famous in Canada for being made up of a bunch of spoiled rich kids who have particularly poor academic abilities, though the university seems to labour under the delusion that it is somehow "Ivy League".
The typical Western student is a fabulously dumb blond boy or girl who says 'like' at least three times per sentence, and hangs out at one of the lame-ass bars on Richmond Street (especially The Ceeps or Jim Bob Ray's) every night getting wasted and breaking into fistfights over scarce cabs once the bars close. They also refuse to wear coats even when the weather is minus 40 degrees, because a coat would cover up their stuffed booby cleavage or obscure their tiny little gym pecs.
Jenn: I couldn't, like, get into the University of Toronto, so, like, I guess I'll go to Western. Yaaaaay!!!!
Bryce the frat boy: Hey bro, I go to The University of Western Ontario because it's the only school in Canada where the girls are dumb enough to have sex with me.

If a student, you will find your self at any of the three bars around here LastCall, The Pub, or The Den(the name varies depending on how recently they lost their alcohol licenses) and of course there is Greek Village where if at the PIKE house you will get ruffie for sure. This place deff turns the good girls go bad. Invested with random cats and squirells. The longest four year party of your life.

A Church of Christ University in Lubbock, Texas. Many students either graduate from Lubbock Christian High School or are from out of town. It is commonly referred to as "Love Connection University", because the vast majority of students marry a fellow Chap. LCU is a tight knit community that prides itself on its "Girl's Clubs" and "Boy's clubs". These groups are essentially sororities and fraternities that are rule-bound under the University. Those who choose to abstain from joining a club or playing sports will find themselves struggling to fit in due to the lack of academic activities. LCU is very much a socially focused University.
I live in Lubbock and had never heard of Lubbock Christian University, but they accepted my financial aid... so I came.
