Looking for colleges with a similar feel to University of Southern California!

Alright peeps, so here's the deal. I recently toured USC and fell in love with the campus culture, the balance between social life and academics, and their strong business and film programs. Thing is, I wanna have options when I apply. What are some colleges that would give off the same kinda energy and opportunities as USC? Bonus points if they're in an urban setting but still have that tight-knit community feel.

Hey there! It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your tour of USC. Looking for schools with a similar vibe is a great strategy. Considering what you loved about USC, you might want to check out schools like New York University (NYU) for its outstanding business program and vibrant urban campus. For a great film program, consider the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), which also has strong academics and a dynamic student life.

Although it's not in an urban environment, you might also find that Vanderbilt University captures that balance of social and academic life in a tight-knit community. Each of these schools boasts distinct programs in business and film and can offer you a sense of belonging. Researching these options could be your next step to finding the perfect fit for you. Best of luck with your search!
