University of Southern California Top Questions

Someone who wants to take advantage of unlimited academic and professional opportunities.

If you are not focussed enough to be able to keep yourself on track academically, the social opportunities can overwhelm a person to the point that balancing school and fun can become REALLY difficult, so if you are the kind of person who doesn't care about academics all that much, maybe this school isn't for you.

Someone who dislikes the city, noise and school spirit.

People who are not into sororities and fraternities. Those shallow groups rule this school.

The type of person that should not attend this school is one who does not want a school with plenty of connections. If you di not want the perks of going to a school to give you a lot more than just an education. If a person just wants an education with none of the extra curricular activities and the opportunities of a great research cener school that has a great football team, then they should go to another school that only focuses on academics.

Someone who has trouble saying no to partying when there is work to be done. There is always something going on.

Well, there are two types of people who come here, very hard workers, and the extremely sociable people. Sometimes they mix, often times they're separated. So if you dont fit either categories, it would be difficult here. Also, anyone who cares about the success of their future should consider attending as well.

Most people generally feel welcome at USC. The atmosphere is highly inviting and open to all types of people.

If you are not looking for an academically stumulating courseload, this school is not right for you. It also helps to be social and well-rounded as we attend a school in Los Angeles.

If you know you hate Los Angeles, you probably won't have much fun living in the city for four years. If you're looking for a super small, ultra nurturing liberal arts education, then there's only a few majors here for you (like film, screenwriting, etc).
