University of Southern California Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Southern California? Why?

Jonathon

The worst thing about my school is the fact that it is in a somewhat dangerous part of town. I myself have not felt this effect firsthand, however, there is an increased risk of danger.

Weilan

I think the worst thing about the school is the fact that there are students that smoke in many places. However, from what I've seen of other universities and other colleges, it's about the same amount.

Jade

I would say the worst thing about attending USC is the constant worry about finances and whether or not you will be able to pay the entire tuition. Even if you do receive a large amount of financial aid or a big scholarship, the tuition is so expensive that, unless you are fully covered, you will probably have a substantial sum of money to pay, and it becomes very stressful to deal with.

Rachel

If I had to choose the worst thing that USC has to offer to its students would be its athletic center called the Lyon Center. The facility is in dire need of renovation including new machines and locker rooms.

Sydni

It doesn't allow room for too many As in major requirements so that students are compared to each other. For instance, if I deserve an A based on my ability to do the work and perform in class, I may not receive an A if another student has excelled beyond me because that student will set the standard for an A and then grades are filtered down from there. An A is hard to come by. However, people don't tear each other down. Most people just learn to content themselves with Bs.

Sarah

The worst thing about my school is supposedly parking, but I have not had a problem with it.

Zihao

The worst thing about my school is that everything is expensive. Housing is expensive, food is expensive, education is expensive. But if you are on scholarships or grants then it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Vivika

The worst thing about my school is that they don't offer housing all four years to students. After your first two years you have to fine housing off campus on your own. This can be different as USC is not located in a good part of Los Angeles and many students are not sure where they should live or what is safe and unsafe. It is also very inconvenient to students.

Tatjana

the tuition cost.

Kai

It is in a very bad neighborhood where there is a lot of crime. The administration is also trying to stop fraternity parties.
