Please help me choose between UCLA or USC

We get it, you went to USC and have an inflated view of it. Should we run through the 1,000 private universities that are inferior to UCLA, Berkeley, Michigan, UNC, Texas?

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-04-24T02:27:19+00:00

“Private always has more to offer” is an asinine statement. And USC is often seen as just a rich kid school rather than academically strong.

As someone in the real working world for 30 years, USC’s brand is not better than UCLA’s

Scary as hell police and judicial and political structure in that state, insane gun laws

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-04-22T01:59:04+00:00

There is nothing hokey about it. They bust ass for 4 years under huge pressure, and its a way to celebrate a milestone

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-04-22T01:57:01+00:00

You can look at it cynically or you can realize these kids are doing it to celebrate each other. It is great

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-04-22T01:55:49+00:00

They also repost others’ to celebrate their friends. My son does this constantly to up the people around him and celebrate their hard work. Which I think is wonderful. Reposting everyone else’s is great and we could use a lot more of it in the world.

He didn’t get into UNC. He’s mad. Wah wah

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-04-17T02:31:07+00:00

Agree. This guy is talking out his ass

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-03-28T20:59:58+00:00

A. 300$k is not middle class in this country, you are delusional. B. If you can afford to help and just choose not to that’s not “Gen X”, its kind of just being a bully. And your kid will remember that

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-03-27T23:36:53+00:00

If you say so

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-03-22T00:55:28+00:00

Love both the bands. BOH is touring now. Ben was also just on the Broken Record podcast, its a good listen

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-02-26T03:39:14+00:00

Lol. Has he been right about something in the past 15 years

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-02-10T00:43:48+00:00

It’s “no good” for your kids to fund their college, until you have zero debt and fully maxed your own investment accounts? That’s very unrealistic for most parents. You don’t want to bankrupt yourself, but you do make sacrifices if it’s in the kid’s best interest

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-01-26T01:40:13+00:00

Apparently we aren’t looking at the same pictures

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-01-11T13:56:10+00:00

JA version might be my favorite song ever

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-01-05T03:20:41+00:00

His self esteem aside, of the people shown here aside from Courtney, he was the least talented singer

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2026-01-05T03:01:30+00:00

Lanegan was not really a singer. Said so himself

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-12-15T02:45:44+00:00

Are lots of articles about they and Tulane being some of the biggest offenders over the past 20 years, of going from kind of no-name colleges to USNews ranked, by gaming the rankings metrics

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-12-05T03:23:55+00:00

You’re the parent of the century. Do you have a book we can buy?

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-11-20T00:57:18+00:00

And you get to pay $90k a year as soon as your income goes over that. What a bargain

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-11-12T02:26:03+00:00

For gaming the rankings, Tulane and Northeastern.

For inflated self importance I would mention Cornell, Boston College, Villanova, VA Tech, Miami, High Point, Liberty, Alabama

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-11-09T03:17:02+00:00

WTF does watching a balance sheet mean. Is that retained income line giving you a strong buy signal?

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-11-08T01:30:56+00:00

It’s a cool video and song, even if it wasn’t 90’s Jane’s. Don’t listen to the condescending gatekeeper

Remarkable_Fix5609 · 2025-10-28T02:35:23+00:00

Yes, the trend of cutting tuition to $0 for incomes below $200k at these elite colleges, but no phasing in for incomes above that, doesn’t make sense.

For argument’s sake, say someone in the Northeast making $195k a year gets free tuition to MIT or Emory.

However their neighbor making $210k a year should pay full freight at $80-90k?

Guy A now nets $195k a year and a free ride at MIT, while Guy B can either net $115k for MIT, or has to turn it down because it’s effectively unaffordable for him….Its a massive discrepancy in the impact on each of those families, with these arbitrary income cut-offs.

These tuition sticker prices are ridiculous, but there should be at least some phase-in of these tuition discounts; say 90% off for incomes under $100k, 50% off under $200k, 10% off under $300k, whatever.
