OMG this is the hill I will die on. When I was in college in CA in the late 90s/early 00s, USC was known was being a great school for film, football, and being a loose sorority girl… and aside from that was a total JOKE.

No one will ever be able to convince me that it’s worth any $$$. And I would never let my kid go to school there. [/quote]

Wow, I had to look at the date to make sure this wasn't some old post I had written!   
Same here, I graduated from a southern CA high school in the early 90s.   The people I knew that went there were either wealthy but not that bright, or extremely bright and went because they were given a great financial package (and needed it!)[/quote]
I am class of '93. I grew up in rural PA. I had no idea USC had this reputation until I started reading about it on this board.

[b]I just remember Steve Sanders really wanted to go to USC and didn't his dad, Rush, also want him to go to that school too? I always thought it was a prestigious school back then because of the emphasis they seemed to place on that school. But he didn't get in and had to go to California University instead.[/b]

If USC's reputation was University of Spoiled Children - wealthy but dumb - wouldn't Steve have been a shoo-in?

And then Dylan smashed his girl, Valerie. Poor guy couldn't catch a break.[/quote]
