I've had the opportunity to shadow a few days of the morphology and aesthetics class at USC. While I can't compare it to other schools, I did get to talk to a lot of the students. The one thing that came across was how little work they had. Most days of class are half-days, with no class on Thursdays. It really seems like the type of school where you make your own opportunities. That being said, one of the students said that they go to disney land every week lol. I'm personally not sure about the 44k, but while not insignificant, I think I would pay it to be in Socal over Florida.
