What are your general comments?
Well ...
Everybody knows that USC has a price tag equivalent of a decent house. The only justification they provided for this is that they're "cheaper" than NYU when you combine both tuition and living expenses. They didn't tell us as to why they're so expensive. I mean, PBL curriculum sounds like a low maintanence, low cost approach to education, so why does it cost so much????
