The diversity at USC astounds me. Now when I visit my friends at certain other schools (who's names I won't disclose) the homogeny of the type of people and racial background saddens and diheartens me.

The University of Southern California not only has the Trojan Family connection, the strongest alumin database in the entire country, but the amount of school spirit and pride that the students and alumni have for the university is what makes USC one of the most fun schools to attend. Sports or not, pride for a university that has so much to offer to not only the community surrounding the school, but globally is something that cannot be measured in words and must be experienced person in order to assess a proper affections of the school's students and faculty.

I think the best part about my school is the support network. Whether you need an internship or a job or help studying people are always willing to help. People here are really friendly and everyone is always networking, but most of the time that's not even on purpose. You tend to find yourself with a diverse group of friends you can count on.

The best thing about USC is the wide variety of people you are exposed to. Cultures that once seemed exotic and foreign (compared to you are accustomed to) start to become more familiar and natural; in the same way, your own culture starts to influence others, too. The result is a community of broadened minds and global citizens, prepared to analyze issues in creative and progressive ways.

The social network, and the location. The students, if they so choose, may become very well connected to expert alumni that will, in turn, assisst you with invaluable connections to the hotbed of your respective interest - escpecially, film, music, business. Los Angeles, obviously, is full of opportunity - and USC, being as intimate and even slightly exclusive as it is, opens doors for you that you may not otherwise have access to.

Although there are countless advantages to being a part of USC, the best part of the school is, in fact, the spirit of the Trojan Family. This feeling of belonging, perpetuated by an atmosphere of welcome as promoted by staff, faculty, and the student body, envelops each incoming freshman and carries them along their entire college career. It results not only in a student's increase in their desire to excel, but also in small classroom sizes and consequential connections with professors, extreme school pride at athletic events, and untold connections in the professional world.

I LOVE the sports enthusiasm. Despite recent problems with the basketball and football teams, there is still a lot of school spirit, especially for the band, and that is one of the most important things I was looking for in a college education. I am very happy with my choice in college and I will always be a proud alum.

The class sizes are very concentrated. I am in the Annenberg professional school for Public Relations. My class sizes are usually always less than 20 people which is a lot better than a lecture hall with over 100 students.

The best thing about USC are the amazing activities available here. I've only been here for 3 months and the speakers that have come here are Bill Nye the Science Guy, Rob Lowe, Joseph Gordon Leavitt, President Obama, Jamie Foxx, numerous bands, film and television big shots, foreign journalists and government workers, and so many more amazing people. There are so many things to do and clus to be a part of. I just finished being part of a dance group sponsored by the Korean Student Association. It was so random but so fun!

It is a beautiful campus full of knowledge and oppotunities at every turn.
Abby
There are two particularly amazing things about USC, and I couldn't say that one of these things is better than the other. Trojans have a lot of school spirit and pride. Alumni swarm the school on gameday, and it's impossible to not get caught up in the infectious fun and excitement. Also, the Trojan network is invaluable. The catch-phrase is "Trojans hiring Trojans," and being able to tap into that global network means a lot, especially during these tough economic times.

The best thing about the school is its location. Downtown with its sprawling businesses is nearby, hospitals and medical facilities are also within driving distance, and those interested in careers in entertainment can easily reach Hollywood a mere city away. It's location is prime for those wanting to get an internship or work part-time in a job in their career field while still in school.
Rachel
The best thing about the University of Southern California is its school pride. Every student, professor, teacher or alumni are proud of their connection to USC. For students, it is the prestigious athletic teams (football, vollyball, track and field) as well as major programs that the university has to offer. Professors are proud to teach at a top ranked university in the U.S. and parents are proud that their children are receiving an advanced education. As for alumni they are proud to have experienced the glory of USC and will always be a part of the trogan family.
Katrina
The variety of resources. There are lots of different fields of study and plenty of research opportunities. Because of it's central location in Los Angeles, there are lots of different events held on campus, from lectures by industry professionals to culture shows to concerts. There are many ways to receive academic help, including the writing center. There is a club for almost anything you can think of. Sports are very prominent and the facilities are very nice, particularly the swimming pool and the Galen Center. The career center is also very helpful.
Chi
The weather in Southern California is very nice, and it never rains. As for the school, I think the school spirit is really strong on campus and it makes me proud to go to school here.
Joanna
Our alumni program and connection is one of the best, if not the best. USC is known for its alumni program. The school spirit is contagious and invigorating. I get excited just seeing a USC flag, shirt, cap, or liscence plate! It is so much easier to get a professional job, and the career you want by following your mentor. There are many people who will take care of you and connect you to.
Meagan
The best thing about USC is the people. I have never felt more welcomed and belonging to one place before. I used to feel like I never belonged in high school, but now all of these people are similiar to me but at the same time have different backgrounds which makes for a unique and very enjoyable time.
Tatjana
The best thing I consider about my school is the name. The name is known to many people and is considered one of the top ten schools in America.
