16. USC Private, not State University
Fri Oct 3, 2025, 02:56 PM

USC (aka, University of Second Choice, aka, University of Spoiled Children -- hey, I, and all five of my sisters, graduated from UCLA -- GO BRUINS), may be a private school, but they receive significant funding from the State of California in the form of research and other grants. Also, my dislike of USC only applies to their undergraduate programs, they have many fine graduate programs and schools. But remember, flush twice, it is a long way to USC.
