if you can get in-state at colorado it's a no-brainer. Everyone seems to have a good impression of midwestern, but it is on the total edge of phoenix and it gets HOT. like HOT. USC is in the middle of LA, so total opposite from midwestern, also has PBL for a lot of curriculum, kind of controversial on here. I'm probably going to USC too though so you can join me and kentucky lover. I would seriously look at cost first though, biggest downside to USC is obviously price.
