unhelpful, not friendly, would be happy to see you grades go down.

For a major university USC is relatively more conservative although the greater majority is still left leaning.
USC is a very large school with many different kinds of people. Some students are first generation college students others come from a family full of college graduates.
I have friends from all different kinds of backgrounds. However I do feel that not all races and types of people mix together on a regular basis, whites still hang out with whites, asians with asians, conservatives with conservatives, blacks with blacks...you get the idea.

There's a little bit of everyone here.
People who wouldn't fit in:
those who aren't willing to buckle down and study hard when necessary (Yes, we party, but still go to class and study. A lot.)
those who are choosing USC as a last resort or aren't crazy about it. Unless you come into it already loving the school or being willing to love the school, you'll hate it. No one here hates on the school for fun; people love being here.
people who really hate football. It's our religion in the fall. If you don't go to games, you'll probably be one of three students not in attendance.
people who are adamantly against any partying. There is underage drinking here, there is drug use, there is sex in the dorms. Most of that's just the college experience. People here aren't generally excessive, though. We aren't a "party" school, but we do like to have a good time.

My classmates are a blend of people who are devoted to schoolwork and those who are not.

No matter who you are, what you like, or what intresets you, you will find a group of friends.

My classmates are people who like to have a good time, but can separate school from pleasure and can still academically achieve at high levels while maintaining an active social life.

USC's Student Body is very diverse, and I think no matter what your personality type you will be able to find a group of friends to hang out with. Everyone is so full of school spirit, and the first week of school Freshman year is amazing because everyone is so willing to meet people- it's when a lot of people make their closest friends.

Most people are from Southern California and Texas, therefore it's a pretty conservative student body. Those who aren't conservative seem to be apathetic, as there rarely seems to be any form of political activism on campus.

Interesting, different than myselt, motivated to do many different things in life, and coming from many different backgrounds.
