University of Southern California Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of Southern California accurate?

Alison

For some people, but not the majority.

Robin

I think these stereotypes are not true at all.

Jessie

I'm here on scholarship, so I couldn't afford to be here without it. I have never felt unsafe on campus; there is an excellent DPS

Caitlin

Not necessarily. There IS a huge Greek life, but you don't need to be a part of it to have fun and love USC. Not everyone is rich and spoiled, and academics are highly valued too.

Phil

not really, but you can find them if you look hard enough

George

I am not sure

Andy

Not necessarily. But any stereotypes can be true on individual cases.

Kelly

No. Of course, some people who go to school here have parents who are well off, but what many people don't understand is that most of the student population gets some sort of financial aid.

Caitlin

For most of the rich upper class student body yes.

Reese

I think they are all accurate. Take one step off campus and every thing changes. Some times you can be on campus, too, and be hassled by bums. There are a lot of stuck up people here who don't appreciate what they have. The rest for themselves.
