Great academics combined with fantastic sports and partying. You can find anything and everything you could possibly want out of a college experience.

USC - University of Southern California: Best Decision I Made!
I chose USC for the degree and the spirit (though the sunny weather is an awesome plus). USC and Annenberg - the communication/journalism school - have an amazing reputation and even better connections after you graduate. The party scene is prevalent, but you can definitely still get your work done. I *LOVE* that you can choose majors in completely different areas of study like business and bio or chem and social work! Still, if you hate football and school spirit, you might want to think tw...

USC - University of Southern California: Not just about film: engineers come here too
I advise visiting the campus and asking lots of questions. The student who isn't loyal and hates the idea of school spirit (and doesn't have an open mind) should stay away.

USC - University of Southern California: Fight On!
USC was my first choice because of its AMAZING theatre school. In the heart of Los Angeles, USC students are given something that only the kids in NYC can't be jealous of. We have one of the best football teams in the country, which is another reason why SC was my first choice. We have free access to the science museum, Natural History Museum, and Rose Garden all across the street from campus, not to mention the great celeb sitings at Shrine which is across the street as well - I can even ...

USC - University of Southern California: sorority sucks
The reason I picked to come to USC is because when I was graduating from high school, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. USC has so many majors that are very well known. There is such a large family of people and good connections that is the main reason I wanted to come here. There is such a broad scope of majors that are all so good. I came from a family where everyone was Trojans. My mom and my sister were both in the Greek system. Because of that, I felt like it was something that I sho...

USC - University of Southern California: ! location location !
USC was my second choice, but probably the best in terms of location, weather, and the campus always seemed full of people, with lots of activity. I got a good feeling when I came and visited here. The main reason I am here is because I didn’t get into my first choice. I wanted to be in LA. I come from Florida so I’m not groomed in the cold. I’m not good with snow, so that was always a perk. The weather is always good here being 20 minutes from the mountains and 20 minutes from the bea...

USC - University of Southern California: Runs in the family
My family all went here. I always like USC and went to the football games when I was younger, and I really liked it. So I just kind of ended up here. USC is very big on alumni and the association is huge here. The Trojan family is the network of all the alumni and you can get jobs through them and stuff. They really like hiring USC grads and stuff. They are very active here. George Lucas donated a building here for instance. They come back, and they help out.

USC - University of Southern California: Job security at USC
Definitely one of the perks of USC is job security for certain majors. Everyone says the school is really expensive, but it’s worth it, because I’m going to have a job and in a couple of years, and if I have loans, I’ll be able to pay them off. Maybe not in a couple of years, but I wouldn’t be worried about it.

USC - University of Southern California: HOLLYWOOD!
I think the Communications school here is amazing. All the professors here are so knowledgeable because communications is a broad field to study. So I’m really lucky…they have an entertainment school, a journalism school, and business communications. There are tons of different kinds of classes to take. I really like it a lot. I love the school. I’ve taken tons of classes…it’s not hard to get classes even though the school is kind of small, it’s one of the bigger communications s...

USC - University of Southern California: Great School: Bad Neighborhood
I applied to USC because I was interested in the film school. It was sort of a very last minute decision for me, but I actually never thought I’d come here.
