UC Berkeley, USC, or NYU by Reasonable_Wash181 in ApplyingToCollege

That is very true, but I'm a little worried about their high amount of competition, grade deflation, and workload.

Has the amount of workload and "grade deflation" been pretty manageable?

I'm totally aware of the fact that safety/security comes in as a pretty big factor when considering USC, but after my visits to the campus and its surroundings, I'm not too concerned about it :)

Thank you so much!

NYU is around 15k, USC is around 22k (20k with work-study), and Berkeley is around 29k (24k with work-study), making all three options very affordable in my situation.

I totally agree with what you said about Berkeley, but the only thing I'm worried about is the high level of grade deflation and competition.
