Top Choice: NYU or USC?

I can't decide. Both are in good locations that I would like to live in, both are large programs with everything I would need...

I'm from CA and have never lived in NYC but my gut feeling said NYU should be number one.

Any advice?

Dude, I don't know. I saw this documentary last week. It was some film shot by this guy on his camcorder that was eventually found in what used to be in Central Park, but is now called "Incident Site U.S. 447". I don't know, man. New York City looked pretty busted up. A bunch of people died in this film, too. I don't think there's gonna be much of place left to do residency.

Where do you want to live when you grow up?

Well that's the thing, I would say NYC but then again all of my family and friends are in CA and I've only visited NYC as a tourist about 6 times... plus I've never been there during the summer.

I can't tell for sure whether I would love it enough to stay there my whole life and I can't tell for sure whether NYU is a good enough name to allow me to get a job in a desirable CA location if I want to come back...

Man, I really hope to be faced with this dilemma...

nyu for sure over usc. much better reputation. plus nyu's very up and coming in terms of reputation. usc has a very bad reputation, especially on the east coast.

Imagine that. Someone from NYC thinking that NYU has a more respected reputation than USC. I suspect USC's reputation on the east coast has more to do with their cheating thug football team (see Reggie Bush story on bringing an armed person to a hearing to intimidate his accuser) than their anesthesiology program🙂
