Hi All,
I am a long time lurker on this site and enjoy all the knowledge base that this site provides. We have to make decision about the undergrad school for my only son. We are renting in Irvine and he was in Uni High. Somehow he did not get UCI, any way that was not
his first choice either. He wants to engineering and got acceptance from USC, UCSB and UC Davis. It's very hard to make a choice, but I know he prefers USC out of these. For us we were mentally prepared to support him for UC system expenses, but now if it's USC it's exactly double the cost. Our permanent residency is in pending status so he can not apply to many scholorships. I am not sure how much fin.aid we can get. We are originally from India and don't have in-depth knowledge about this as we did not study here.
I see there are many here from USC, I am trying to figure is it really worth spending almost 3 times the tuition cost at USC for under-grad school? I know it's worth spending money on grad school at USC. I would really appreciate, any insights or opinions from all the experts.
