I’m really curious of USC’s reputation in the eyes of people that are not affiliated with USC. How did you guys view USC before you guys got in? Or how do others react when you say you went to USC?
heyy i know it is pretty hard to cancel fall housing midst semester but I was wondering if it is possible to cancel spring housing contract. my roommate and suitemates always bring people over and make noises during midnight and as someone with documented insomnia and sleeping problems (i have doctor’s memo), ive been having alot of trouble sleeping and it’s affecting my mental health, thus i really want to move off campus l. Ive already found an apt off campus and willing to forfeit my fall semester fees but I would rly hope to cancel my spring semester. Does anyone have any experience with successful termination?
I'm applying to grad school for both on-campus and online programs. If I get accepted, I would have to move from Asia to LA.
I'm uncertain if the move is worth it because of the traffic, high cost of living, difficult social life, etc.
For those who moved from another state or from another country, how's life?
I’ve been at USC for 2 years now and I feel like I can’t get a social life or make close connections. I’ve attended so many clubs and social events on campus, interacted with so many people that I had good conversations with too. But I virtually have no friends still. I feel very fortunate to have had so many good interactions with people but if we make it to the point of exchanging contacts, I reach out to say hi and hopefully have conversation but most of the time people don’t respond and when they do, it’s a dry reply multiple days later.
I’ve been feeling a bit lonely because I don’t have anyone here to talk to about random things or to share my problems with. I’d love to have someone or people to meet and study with but I don’t know how to get to that point when the people I’ve met in classes, campus clubs, or social events aren’t interested when I reach out
Hey yall! Apologies if the flair is wrong
I’m a senior in high school who is finalizing their college apps, and after a lot of consideration, I really think I want to apply ED to USC. Before I make the decision though, i’d love to hear some opinions about my worries and prospects from some current students or alumni to finally convince me!

For some context, I am first gen, low income from Illinois. My tuition would be covered if I was accepted, so that’s not necessarily a worry. i’d most likely be trying to major in any of the programs offered in Annenberg (Journalism, Comms, Advertising/PR), and minor in something creative, (I.E, digital studies, cinema, music industry, etc), or something humanities based (I.E. English, History, Philosophy, etc)
———
Some things that are important to me are…
- networking/employment opportunities
- quality/prestige of education, programs, and facilities (Specifically within Annenberg)
- LGBTQ+ safety and resources
- resources for low income/first gen students
———
Additionally, i’d love to know about activities at the school, especially in the realm of…
- the arts, especially performing arts like drama, a capella, musical theatre, etc
- music, on campus and greater local/underground music scene
- party and/or bar & club culture
- Sporting events
- Student activities, clubs, and general social life on campus.
- greek/frat life on campus specifically, if anyone has any insight into that
———
My main issues stem from distance, social culture, and cost of living outside of school (food, transportation, etc). If anyone has any experience grappling with these issues and can quell these worries, i’d love to listen.
Happy and hoping to hear all of your guys’ thoughts soon!
Yesterday in the Jefferson structure, your back tire was over into the next space. I thought I could fit, but I grazed your hubcap with my tire and I heard it crack.
I didn’t have anything to write a note with, but if this was you, shoot me a DM with a picture of your car, and I’ll buy you a replacement one on Amazon. Sorry about that!
ETA: To save you all from going and checking your wheels, this was on the first floor, it was an older sedan, and there was a parking ticket on the windshield.
Halloween is coming. What's the most haunting or unexplained thing you've experienced or heard here?
Every place has its legends. The dorm noises, the odd feelings in the libraries after hours, the desolate walkways.
Firsthand accounts, family stories, urban legends, and historical oddities are all welcome. Skeptics are welcome too; sometimes the best part is figuring out what really happened. Happy haunting. 🎃
Guys, I’m honestly getting desperate trying to find housing 😭 I’m planning to move in around late December/early January and stay for both the spring and summer semesters. Ideally, I’d like a private bedroom in shared student housing near Marshall, with a lease I can renew or extend for like 2 years.
I wanted to live at Hub LA Coliseum, but their lease dates are so inconvenient that I’d have to move out and back in just a week later. I just want somewhere stable where I can stay year-round without having to move between semesters. Does anyone have any recommendations? I’m open to pretty much anything at this point!
Budget isn’t an issue.
I might be coming here for a master's in engineering, but I’ve heard a lot about the student-to-faculty ratio at USC. Just how tricky is this whole "you have to find a professor yourself" thing? Or is it actually pretty much the same as at other schools?
hi guys I wanna just take a free double counting ge (b and h) next semester
any recs would be super helpful!!
I'm interested in applying to both and the online program seems more convenient however I'm worried the quality of education might not be as good?
