Son is really torn between the two schools -- USC Thornton and Berklee. Has had lessons at both, really likes the faculty. Money is equal. Likes Boston better than LA; likes the weather in LA over Boston. Thornton has a slight edge on the program (classes/curriculum/overall university). Boston is closer to home and one of his best friends will be at NEC.
Teachers and mentors have been no help... "can't go wrong with either one"... "wow, great sax faculty at both"... "dude, you'll do great at either one"...
Any thoughts? Insight? Would be grateful for *anything* that helps tip the scale! BM in Jazz Studies at both; he plays saxophone.
