University of Southern California Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Charlotte

The best thing about USC are the amazing activities available here. I've only been here for 3 months and the speakers that have come here are Bill Nye the Science Guy, Rob Lowe, Joseph Gordon Leavitt, President Obama, Jamie Foxx, numerous bands, film and television big shots, foreign journalists and government workers, and so many more amazing people. There are so many things to do and clus to be a part of. I just finished being part of a dance group sponsored by the Korean Student Association. It was so random but so fun!

It is a beautiful campus full of knowledge and oppotunities at every turn.

There are two particularly amazing things about USC, and I couldn't say that one of these things is better than the other. Trojans have a lot of school spirit and pride. Alumni swarm the school on gameday, and it's impossible to not get caught up in the infectious fun and excitement. Also, the Trojan network is invaluable. The catch-phrase is "Trojans hiring Trojans," and being able to tap into that global network means a lot, especially during these tough economic times.

Weilan

The best thing about the school is its location. Downtown with its sprawling businesses is nearby, hospitals and medical facilities are also within driving distance, and those interested in careers in entertainment can easily reach Hollywood a mere city away. It's location is prime for those wanting to get an internship or work part-time in a job in their career field while still in school.

Rachel

The best thing about the University of Southern California is its school pride. Every student, professor, teacher or alumni are proud of their connection to USC. For students, it is the prestigious athletic teams (football, vollyball, track and field) as well as major programs that the university has to offer. Professors are proud to teach at a top ranked university in the U.S. and parents are proud that their children are receiving an advanced education. As for alumni they are proud to have experienced the glory of USC and will always be a part of the trogan family.

Katrina

The variety of resources. There are lots of different fields of study and plenty of research opportunities. Because of it's central location in Los Angeles, there are lots of different events held on campus, from lectures by industry professionals to culture shows to concerts. There are many ways to receive academic help, including the writing center. There is a club for almost anything you can think of. Sports are very prominent and the facilities are very nice, particularly the swimming pool and the Galen Center. The career center is also very helpful.

Chi

The weather in Southern California is very nice, and it never rains. As for the school, I think the school spirit is really strong on campus and it makes me proud to go to school here.

Joanna

Our alumni program and connection is one of the best, if not the best. USC is known for its alumni program. The school spirit is contagious and invigorating. I get excited just seeing a USC flag, shirt, cap, or liscence plate! It is so much easier to get a professional job, and the career you want by following your mentor. There are many people who will take care of you and connect you to.

Meagan

The best thing about USC is the people. I have never felt more welcomed and belonging to one place before. I used to feel like I never belonged in high school, but now all of these people are similiar to me but at the same time have different backgrounds which makes for a unique and very enjoyable time.

Tatjana

The best thing I consider about my school is the name. The name is known to many people and is considered one of the top ten schools in America.
