How did you prepare for the interview?
I read about PBL from SDN forum and USC website.
What impressed you positively?
Nice facilities, sunny weather
What impressed you negatively?
Price, PBL introduction by a faculty member
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That they give you absolutely NO LECTURES in this PBL curriculum.
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????
