UCLA: Which College Is Better? Each student should decide which school is better in terms of meeting their academic interests and personal needs. Both schools match up in many ways. They are both highly ranked — USC is 25th and UCLA is 20th in the U.S. News & World Report national rankings, respectively.

USC is a very selective university with an acceptance rate of just under 12%—this means fewer than 1 in 8 students gets accepted. Here's how USC's official news website describes its student body: "The average unweighted GPA is 3.91, which represents a historic high.

“USC still suffers from an outdated image of being in an unsafe area of Los Angeles, but the community has changed over the last few decades. And so, it's my thought that it is a safe place to live, work, go to school, if you take reasonable precautions that would be applicable in any big city.”
