My son and I went in April last year and every day was flat out crazy busy. I am not sure it will matter that time of year. It felt just as busy mid week as it did early week. However, if I had to choose I would always choose mid week over a Monday just in case.
We went March 31 - April 5When in April did you go? We were thinking of going in mid-April but not sure when the Spring Break crowds lessen.
We are looking at USC, Pepperdine & UCLA. We are just starting the process but hoping to get a fill if she like large/small - public/privateWhat schools will you be touring?
You might check out Chapman as well.We are looking at USC, Pepperdine & UCLA. We are just starting the process but hoping to get a fill if she like large/small - public/private
Thank you for this info! My DD is a junior in HS & yes we are from Utah She would like to go to school in California but is pretty undecided as to where or what major. This trip is for helping her narrow down what she wants in a university (big vs small) & to have a little fun, hopefully in the sun.You might check out Chapman as well.
I asked because the first week of April will be UCLA's first week of spring quarter. Great week to tour, but they might not list tour times until the student tour guides know their spring schedules. Look for department tours in addition to the main tour. For example, engineering has its own tour.
Are you from Utah? The UCs are notorious for not giving financial aid to out of state students.
USC will have a lot of admitted student events in April. Their big open house is on April 7. They also have an admitted student event on April 3. I would avoid visiting on those days. USC also offers a campus tour as well as department tours. Make sure you sign up for both.
Why would California taxpayers ever want the state schools to subsidize out of state students?You might check out Chapman as well.

I only mentioned it because some people from out of state don't realize the cost. Some also think that USC is part of the UC system.Why would California taxpayers ever want the state schools to subsidize out of state students?
