University of Southern California Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Paul

Nothing. The thrill of exploring Los Angeles and California all while I got there was all the fun! Coming from Upstate New York, the area could not be any different then where I am from.

Kristie

How little there was to do outside of the campus.

Zane

N/A. I did as much research as I could, and was well in formed in my decision. That said, LA is a very superficial place...

carolina

How greek oriented it is

Christine

I wish I had known more about sororities.

Tiffany

Most people go to SC because Mommy and Daddy are footing the bill and have no trouble affording it.

Ely

Not very liberal, a lot of snobbish upper-class valley people, greek-life centered socially.

Garrick

that everyone only hangs out with people extremely similar to them. Race and social class is a definite easy way to select friends at this campus.

Mirzada

The level of competition in the Pre-Med department. Although it's not outright competition and people are willing to help each other, the classes are very difficult and the curve creates artificial competition.

Kyle

I wish I was more prepared to deal with liberalism in academics, myself being a conservative. It's taken me a while to learn how to respond to hyper-academics personally.
