Hey guys so I'm a transfer student who got admitted to USC and UCLA. I have BL goal, and want to do Tranasctional in SoCal. Between the two assuming that USC is a tad bit cheaper/same price which one would you go with?

UCLA had a 2018 BigLaw placement rate of 48%. USC, 42%. That's not a huge difference, but it's not nothing. UCLA is also traditionally reputed to be a slightly stronger school. If you're going to transfer, absent a yawning gap in CoA, I'd recommend going to UCLA.
Congrats on your offers!

Are you from LA? Because if not I can offer one fact and one opinion. The fact is that UCLA is in a much more expensive part of LA re housing prices - so plan on paying up or having an insane commute unless they can set you up with some kind of campus housing deal. The opinion is that USC has a more zealous alumni network. The “Trojan Family” thing is real and USC grads go way out of their way to help each other. It’s like a cult almost. This is my perception more so than the other LA schools.
