Asked by ChristinaEmerson College in Boston, USC, and USD. I got accepted into all three but I am having trouble figuring out which one I want to go to. Any suggestions? I am studying creative writing so any help in that departemnt as well...if one school is better in that departemnt maybe from your personal experience.

If the USC you got into is University of Southern California -- then it is a MUCH better school than the other two. It isn't even close. US News ranks it as the #27 school in the US -- and you would be a fool to choose one of the other schools over it. If it is the University of South Carolina -- then it is better than Emerson and about the same as USD. University of San Diego is a good second tier national university. It has a good reputation -- but Southern California is rated much higher. As for Emerson -- it is a decent regional school that is known more for being the most Gay Friendly college in the US than it is for its academics. The academics aren't bad -- but they are not in the same league as USC. The contrast between Emerson and the Catholic sponsored USD is stark.
