UCLA (Philosophy) vs. USC (Marshall)

Hey everyone! So I was recently accepted into UCLA (Philosophy) and USC (Marshall Business) and I know the obvious choice is USC, but it costs much more, would appreciate ya'lls advice! For some context I'm a transfer student who wants to go into IB or Consulting.UCLA would cost around 50k for 2 years whereas USC would cost around 170k for 2 years.Do ya'll think the premium for a USC degree/network is worth it?I'm pretty good at philosophy so I know I'd get a good GPA but idk how career prospects would look at UCLA (and I won't be able to switch to econ or business econ). I could possibly do a Philosophy and Labor Studies double major, but I would really appreciate your guys' advice.

Pick USC if you can afford / would want to have fun

UCLA sounds like a better bargain but you may run into the typical problems of CA state schools (difficult classes / grading curves to weed kids out, delayed graduation because too many students sign up for certain classes that are needed to fulfill major requirement) etc
