What are the academics like at University of Southern California?

USC is a heavily career-oriented campus, but that does not mean it lacks intellectual stimulation. Thematic Option, the honors track of the GEs here on campus, is rigorous but, in demanding more from you, broadens your mind and forces you to think and ponder and see things in a way you never thought possible. It is sometimes called "Traumatic Option" but its students, sometimes with spite, sometimes with affection, and everyone agrees that it is highly reading and writing intensive. I believe, however, that is is ultimately very enriching, and I find it to be one of the highlights of USC's academic program. Just like all college campuses, the students will vary from the never-leaves-his-room type to the parties-all-the-time type. The range exists at ivys, it exists at state schools, and it exists at USC.
