The University of Southern California is best known for its Trojan pride. I am very proud to officially be apart of the Trojan family! Students that attend USC come from all over the country and world; it is a very diverse student and staff body. The fact that we are all able to call each other family, students and staff, is uplifting; it feels good to know that you have people in the world looking out for you that aren't your immediate family.
