University of Southern California:

University of Southern California:
(+)
- Great network in the southern California region.
- Well known and well established name with great reputation in and out of rehab field.
- Number/variety of clinics available for clinical rotations.
- Class size is enormous (~100, but divided into classes of ~50), which means less interaction with instructors as well as cliques forming
- High tuition costs
- Further from where I live
(+)
- Smaller class size ~50 students total, which means more interaction with instructors?
- Base tuition is around 50k less than USC
- Closer to my home, reachable via metro.
- Lesser known program with lesser known reputation in and out of rehab field.
- Unsure about networking in the SoCal region
- Religious aspect of the school. Religious obligations despite my non-affiliation with religion.
