About University:
Definitely one of the best Univs on the west coast! The environment is a lot more collaborative than competitive. Professors are on top of their game, but some can be way harder. A lot of services available. Clubs are fun and people are welcoming. One of the most diverse private universities in the US. A lot of connections! Most profs do research!

About University:
USC is a very large school, so most people don't know each other. If you aren't devoted to a club, or some organization, it's harder to make friends. This school needs A LOT of upgrade for an expensive school. Some of the workers need more training and there needs to be more system to make students' lives easier. Great football games tho.

About University:
Great school, beautiful campus, highly ranked institution and programs, great alumni network, the only flaw is the surrounding neighborhood, it is in a bad area and robberies/assault outside of campus happen often. Stay inside campus and you should be fine, stay on alert at all times when off campus.
