I almost went there - as per other threads - it's an oasis in Watts.I get the allure of USC, but I feel like some of y'all commenting have no clue where their campus is. It's in the middle of chaos and is closer to Inglewood than it is to the beach. It's not like you're walking down the street to Hermosa Beach or Malibu. It's in the middle of a hot, crowded, dirty city. Now I know, Syracuse isn't exactly Beverly Hills either, but the point is very few kids go to USC because of the "beaches." Also, no one in So Cal gives a fudge about USC hoops.
Mind you, it's not Westwood, and I wouldn't live in California today if you paid me a million dollars (which after tax, living, gas, and food would be worth 18 cents)...
but it's a really nice campus with good looking people, and ranked WAY higher than SU, academically.
Alumi network (with money) is also stronger.
