So I recently was accepted to USC, I already placed a deposit down for Pitt, Dec 1st. I'm from CA so USC is in state for me Pitt would move me a substantial distance away.
Here's my dilemma, my parents really want me to stay in CA, and I do also to some extent, however USC really only has the instate going for it (I'm not a huge college football fan so I'm not really counting their team), from what I've read a lot of people are unhappy with the 100% PBL, low 4 year graduation rate, the cost is ~450k for 4 years which is 100K+ more expensive then Pitt. The disadvantage of Pitt is that it's far away, the move would be substantial, and weather would be worse, and I would have to be re certified to practice for CA upon graduation (if I wanted to move back to CA, which I probably would).
Anyways I was wondering if I could get some unbiased opinions of the schools from people who are actually students there. If I've gotten any of the negatives/positives about the school wrong, please don't take offense as this is just from what I've heard and feel free to correct me.
