That's my daughter's choice. She alraeady find a roomate in USC already, let alone to say the deposite for dome.
She even didn't apply UCLA schoraship even though she got seveal mails and phone call to ask her apply.
Her reason: possible graduate 5 yrs in UCLA due to buget cut; ucla stands UC of Lot of Asians - too competetive, she want a life. I think - she was spoiled - so it fits her. Of cause - she didn't agree.
