I hated USC at first cus it was hard to make friends, but after another year here, joining a club, going to a retreat, going to events, doing AB spring break, USC ExCEL, and going out when someone asked, I made A LOT more friends. Fight on! The girls are 10's, the Greek row is highly active, the gamedays are energizing, the weather is 75 all-year-round, and the amount of intelligent people is growing every year. It's basically near perfect when you think of college experience. ...Continue reading

USC has a lot of resources for all students and the campus is great. If you do not find a clique or group of people be lonely and isolated. I had 3 friends the entire time there and felt isolated and depressed the whole time. Be extroverted or don't care too much. Also, very liberal/progressive overall. They operate a business rather than give the students quality in their education. People don't go to a school like USC for the education quality but for the brand. ...Continue reading

USC is a fabulous school for risk takers and go-getters. It's an amazing opportunity to be a student here. Was worried about the location but it's actually been great, there are metro stops outside to get to other parts of LA and the campus is very much a safe bubble. The food is good as long as you stick away from EVK. People are super friendly and nearly everyone is hot. Also the academics are amazing and quite hard. ...Continue reading

Nestled in South Central, USC can be at times suffocating. Most classes regardless of your major are challenging but then again, its college and its supposed to be hard, which makes this school's graduates so prepared to be the leaders in the work force. There is a strong sense of community and family in the school. ...Continue reading

Undergra Marshall advising office is really not here to help, if you try to get into a class, they won't help you, all they keep saying is that sorry you cannot add in, and it seems their supervisor cannot understand english, if you ask how the online registration works, they still say sorry we can not add you in, gosh, you didnt answer what i ask. There are a lot of jocks but also a lot of smart kids. The school is basically UCLA but twice the cost. The school pride here is amazing and alumni and current students alike rave about their Trojan love and often use of them. Marvelous campus but in a sketch location. However, if you would like a attend USC as undergrad, you need to think wise. From my own experience, most of the professors have amazing education background and awards, but they do not how to teach! If I had the chance, I would have picked UC system for my undergrad ...Continue reading

Overall school rating 3/5

USC isn't a bad school, but let's be clear - it's a rich kid school. Frat and sorority dominate social scene. Many choices to have fun in LA though the school's location is horrible. Not really for pre-grad school nerds. Expensive but probably worth the class size, fountains, new equipments and buildings, etc. Overall just the stereotypical large private school in a metropolitan. You pay a lot to get in, and that mindset is reflected in the school's attitude, so if you don't like feeling like a cash cow, find somewhere else. That being said, the professors are excellent and the campus is nice, it's just the rest that is lacking. ...Continue reading

If you go anywhere else, you will be a Bruin, Tree, Husky, Duck or whatever, for four years, but- coming to USC, you will be a Trojan forever. There are very many resources available. The students should really make use of all the resources because they are very helpful. Apply to scholarships though cause it's not cheap. The VAC program for MSW is very intense, it's not for all students because it is highly competitive. ...Continue reading

USC has all the charms of a small school with the resources of a large one. Tough to balance frat and good grades, but completely worth trying to do both. The school is super affordable, only $60,000 a year. That factor obviously needs to reverse or halt soon because it is pretty ridiculous to charge that kind of money especially in Downtown LA where homeless crackheads roam near, and often ON campus. ...Continue reading

normal teaching quality It's definitely not without its issues, esp. with tuition fees. Financial aid covers all of my tuition but it's less kind to other students. So far it's been a good experience. USC campus and immediate surrounding areas are very safe. I love the education, love the professors, but the social scene is not for me. I come from a life of poverty and if you grew up in the same environment, you'll feel isolated in this school. Made more friends outside of school in LA rather than in school. I definitely don't feel connected to this school. ...Continue reading

I hated USC at first cus it was hard to make friends, but after another year here, joining a club, going to a retreat, going to events, doing AB spring break, USC ExCEL, and going out when someone asked, I made A LOT more friends. Fight on! The girls are 10's, the Greek row is highly active, the gamedays are energizing, the weather is 75 all-year-round, and the amount of intelligent people is growing every year. It's basically near perfect when you think of college experience. ...Continue reading

USC has a lot of resources for all students and the campus is great. If you do not find a clique or group of people be lonely and isolated. I had 3 friends the entire time there and felt isolated and depressed the whole time. Be extroverted or don't care too much. Also, very liberal/progressive overall. They operate a business rather than give the students quality in their education. People don't go to a school like USC for the education quality but for the brand. ...Continue reading

There are a lot of jocks but also a lot of smart kids. The school is basically UCLA but twice the cost. The school pride here is amazing and alumni and current students alike rave about their Trojan love and often use of them. Marvelous campus but in a sketch location. However, if you would like a attend USC as undergrad, you need to think wise.

USC isn't a bad school, but let's be clear - it's a rich kid school. Frat and sorority dominate social scene. Many choices to have fun in LA though the school's location is horrible. Not really for pre-grad school nerds. Expensive but probably worth the class size, fountains, new equipments and buildings, etc. Overall just the stereotypical large private school in a metropolitan. You pay a lot to get in, and that mindset is reflected in the school's attitude, so if you don't like feeling like a cash cow, find somewhere else. That being said, the professors are excellent and the campus is nice, it's just the rest that is lacking. ...Continue reading

He tries to cover many in-depth material that is beyond the scope of the class, but this could make you more confused. His tests are really similar to old tests, which are available online. Homework is fine, and quizzes could be annoying but this depends on the TA. You should definitely take him for Math 407. ...Continue reading

This class was difficult only because CS is hard to learn for most people who don't have coding experience. ITP 165 is set up so that you have 20 minutes of lecture and then an hour to do a lab 'by yourself', which really means that you try to do the assignment and then if you get stuck, the TAs and Heather will walk you through.

Literally everything is tested out of the textbook. Class attendance is mandatory if you want to do well, but with her amazing lectures you don't really want to skip class. 3 non-cumulative midterms and a lot of chances for extra credit. The best thing is, you can easily get 90300 by showing up to discussions and doing the assignments-takes 5 mins, really. I thought her classes are clear and interesting. She makes me consider taking PSYC as minor. But it is quite hard to get an A in her class as the tests are both too-in-depth and weirdly- focused. ...Continue reading
