University of Southern California Top Questions

Greek life is pretty big. 'Thirsty Thursdays' on the Row are big, every week. Going to football games (and the preceding tailgates) is very common. There are also several acapella and dance groups. Visions and Voices, a program that brings performing groups, artists, authors, actors, speakers, and previews/retrospectives of Film & TV to campus is very commonly attended as well.

The most popular activities are sports, band and fraternities/sororities.

A group that I'm currently involved in is the URSC, short form for University of Residential Student Community. As can be seen from our name, we care for the welfare of the students living in residential buildings in USC and organize activities to help them feel at home. As a funding rep, I ensure that all activities organized, either by URSC or by any other organizations or individuals, have the residents at USC at the top of their head. I can proudly say that with URSC, all freshman living in a residential building at USC will assimilate to the Trojan family in no time!

Football is definitely a big thing but you don't have to know about it to be at USC. If you start watching football while you're here that's great but if you don't there's plenty of other things to bond with fellow students with. Dorms are typically the first place you make your friends since you're in such close proximity with everyone but there's definitely clubs to join and things to do.

The most popular student activity is probably sports. USC's football team is extremely well-known and football season at USC is an experience unique to our school. The school spirit and pride is unreal. Greek life is also quite popular here. Meeting people part of panhellenic and professional fraternities is very common.

The football team is one of the most popular teams on campus, due to their overall success in the national championships of old and the venue they play. Greek life is fully supported by the campus and one of the social organizations, I most proud to be a part of, due to the philanthropic, athletic and social opportunities it affords. Visions and Voices offers events each week on Tuesday, from magic shows to notable keynote speakers, students should take full advantage of these. Within a mile of L.A. Live, Staples Center, and downtown LA, there's hard to find something not to do. Even on campus, there are live performances at the not one but two large student center rooms, run by students for the students. Whether it be the beach, USC sports games, there is no short list of activities. The dating scene is pretty large, I mean there is a lot of eye candy at USC and they are all smart and (usually) down-to-Earth girls. Dorm life was awesome as a freshman, but as an older sophomore I needed the freedom afforded by living in my fraternity house.

Greek life is a huge part of campus life, and at times it can seem as if the entire campus revolves around it. This is definitely the most popular place for students to go out, although there are other off-campus parties and plenty of things to do that don't involve drinking. There is always a show at Ground Zero, the performance cafe, or other events to attend. Sports are also a very important part of campus life, especially football, because there is so much school spirit. Nevertheless, there are so many clubs and organizations to get involved in. There is always something for everyone on campus.

There are a lot of kids that are involved in Greek life, which is fairly predominant on campus. Partying is a big thing on the row, though there are many girls in my own sorority that don't drink, fraternities throw parties every Thursday night and there are often times parties on Tuesday and Fridays, sometimes Saturdays. SC is still very social if you are not in Greek Life. There are community service organizations such as Troy Camp or Helenes. I am in Troy Camp and absolutely love it. There are groups for almost every interest ranging from religion to outdoor exploration. It's easy to get involved in organizations like these or even groups that are more academic that come from the school of your major.
