UVA or USC

Hello guys, I’ve been attempting to decide between two schools.

UVA appears to have quite a huge alumni network and has a variety of pipelines but so does USC. The only thing is for my freshmen year for both I will be starting in the CAS school and Dornsife respectively for both so I’ll be internally transferring by my sophmore year. I just need some help deciding which to pick I’ve informed myself of both school’s pros and cons and now I am attempting to see the opinions of those looking in so I can make an informed decision. Thanks!
