I can understand that you want to respect your parent’s wishes but in the end this is going to be your life and you have to start making decisions that affect you. It’s not to say you can’t hear them out and take their opinions into consideration but if USC is the best dental program for you/overall then go for it. Los Angeles is a very expensive city and USC is a very expensive school so you just have to look at all of that before deciding. Is USC something that you can afford? How much will your student loans be after you graduate? How far away from your family do you want to be? etc. etc. Just educate yourself about your options and find out what’s best for you. In the end you will be the only one who has to live with the decision.

USC…it is beautiful, and it has top notch programs…the question is are you ok being so far from home? If so go for it…you won’t be disappointed.

go to ucla

good program there
