University of Southern California Top Questions

What kind of person should attend University of Southern California?

Vivika

To attend the university of southern California, I beleived that a student should have school spirit and should want to be academically challenged. I also think they should be willing to get involved on campus, as most students do and should be open to meeting to people and making friends with people from diverse backgrounds and different ways of life. Finally, I believe that a student should wnat to better themselves academically, personally, and spiritually because USC really emphasizes growing and learning all sorts of new things throught your four years there.

Rudo

People who are sure they can afford it and or are going into a practical, career orientated field of study.

Michael

Work hard, play hard.

Erica

self- oriented people

Joanna

People who are well rounded. They need to love getting hands on experience. People here are very active, whether that be sports, music, art, theater, or volunteering in their communities. There are so many different areas of study and a lot of freedom. There are so many resources, you need to be able to absorb.

Andrew

Someone who is ready to be exposed to new social environments and is willing to work hard.

Arnela

Anyone that wants to recieve a balanced education, understands the importance of networking, and wants to be sucessful and happy in the future.

Amy

While my school has something to offer for everyone and while the administration does make it possible for anyone with a dream to see it through, there are those who I believe should not attend USC. These are the people who have no dreams- the people who are unwilling to grow and expand their minds. They cannot attend my school because it is an environment in which youth is forced to think and develop. Those who refuse to do so prohibit the development of society, and USC is a place that encourages growth and progress to no end.

Eric

Someone who loves football, is interested in the Greek system, wants to live in a busy urban area, and looking for strong connections after graduation.

Nelson

Absolutely anyone. Someone who is eager to learn, have fun, and experience new things.

Lawrence

Some one who can balance all the fun of a full on college social life and attend class in full force as well.

Tripti

everyone!

Jack

someone who is well rounded. people who excel here are not only intelligent but social as well.

Alexandra

outgoing, spirited, hardworking, athletic

Doreen

Someone who wants a mix of good academics with the stereotypical college scene (parties, etc). Overall, people who are social will thrive here but there really is such a variety of students here that virtually anyone can find their niche at USC. I would not recommend a certain type of person to avoid the university but rather for an individual to visit the campus and see if it is a 'fit' for them personally.

Christopher

Those who are able to balance a busy social life with challenging and enlightening course work.

Benoit

People who are talented, outgoing, adventourous, ambitious, fun-loving, full of passion, and committed.

Travis

businessmen, artists, and thespians; the "popular" kids will feel right at home in the Greek system.

Amanda

Ambitious students who are looking for a strong sense of professional community, but who aren't needy when it comes to friends. USC is, a lot of the time, an every man for himself kind of school. However, if you have the drive to succeed, USC can and will take you extremely far.

Clark

USC is very much a school for people who subscribe to the "work hard, play hard" way of life. People who go to USC are intelligent and (probably more importantly) persistent in their studies, but they also are very social in their freetime, and they get out to explore the Los Angeles area as much as possible. It often feels to me like the happy medium between a party school and MIT. Meaning, it is a school for people who want to be challenged, but still want adequate time to meet people, have fun, and enjoy college outside a classroom.
