if you have good grades:

UCLA, UCI, UCSB, UCSD, Pepperdine university (that’s in malibu, so very beautiful campus)

i wouldn’t go to USC though. it’s in the middle of a bad neighborhood and nowhere near as pristine as they show on the brochures

USC, Fresno State, UCLA, San Diego State, FSU, Culinary Instute of America – California, Golden State, Marylhust U, Portland State,

You can go to uc san diego or Pepperdine University on Malibu it is right off the beach, or you can go to LMU(Loyola Marymount University, it is about 10-15 min away from the beach. UCLA is about 20-25 mins fronthe santa monica pier, That should help you

I would say USC is as big as the brocure says it is.. Especially as far as sports go, but education wise as well… Not only is the football program by far the biggest and best in the NCAA Division I schools but lets look at some of the famous people to come out of USC as compared to other such schools…. Carson palmer- Arguably in the top 3 QB’s in the NFL… Matt Leinart- Possibly the best NFL prospect as far as QB’s go in the NFL (The next BIG Thing) Reggie Bush- probably the most athletic person in the entire NFL and really any pro level (Especially now that Vick’s far out of the picture)

Keyshawn Johnson, Lindale White, Steve Smith, Mark McGuire, among many others…

UCLA
