[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Diverse study body, clean attractive campus, school spirit, tons of opportunities, top notch professors, they spend lots of money on the details (nothing is neglected).  Location is eh. It’s adjacent to downtown and area is sketchy. Excellent alumni network. A real powerhouse in California in business, finance, real estate and entertainment. Not sure how the alumni network extends outside of CA.  A lot of kids seem to respond very positively to USC. [/quote]

My DC is at USC. This is the most accurate description.
To the other PP. Greek is big if you want it, but it’s cool if you don’t. DC isn’t Greek, not their thing, has a great social life, joined a club that has 500 members. So everyone finds their niche. I would say classes were large in the first year (not first two), with GE lectures being 100-150 kids. Marshall classes have always been 30-50. Applied analytics classes are 15-25. So once you’re in your major, the class sizes are very manageable. DC really connected with one professor who helped with a LOR for an internship. Another thing to consider… USC is very generous with IB and AP Credit and the GE requirements are covered / taken care of easily. Most of DC’s friends have the option of graduating at least a semester early or they just do another major.

Alumni network starts working for the kids while in undergrad, there is a lot of pay it forward by alumni even the young ones. DC was set up with an alumni mentor who graduated 5 years prior, in a niche industry and they went to dinner, then were able to do a shadow day with them, DC thinks the whole experience is pretty cool.
