I want to major in accounting, and there are 5 accounting accredited schools in California (2 public, 3 private):
- Santa Clara University
- University of Southern California
- San Diego University
- San Diego State
- California State University: Fullerton
I want to get out of the bay area, so Santa Clara University is out of the question, but out of the remaining 4, which should I choose? Should I go to a public school or a private school? I heard that in the accounting field, it doesn't matter what college you go to just as long as it's accounting accredited, you can get your CPA, and you have a lot of experience.
If I had the money, of course I would choose USC, but if the name/rank of a school doesn't matter that much, I would very well rather save money.
Is paying $150k extra to go to a private school that important? Will going to a private school rather than a public school really help me that much in the long run?
Also, I was thinking of going to let's say Fullerton for two years, then transferring to USC. (USC accepts transfers as a half-freshman, sophomore, and junior.)
