Walk one street away from this place and there's a good chance a homey will blow your head off. Academically....on par with any community college. A big positive was the football program...but even that proved to be corrupt. The US News ranking for this place (#23 nationally) seems impressive, however, further research into the reason USC was ranked so high is because the con their alumni into senselessly throwing money into the university fund. (By the way, according to the US News ranking methodology, they score 35% of the total tally off of alumni contributions and only 10% on academic quality). Save you dough and pass on this over-priced, ivy league wanna-be school and go to an establishment where you WILL get a better education (California has much better places like UC Berkley, Stanford and UCLA) On the very minor plus side...since you are in "the hood"...there's a very good chance you could get yourself on COPS or some other reality police show due to the ever present violence and car chases.....FUN!

I got involved in the Greek system and became president of AEPhi (No longer at SC). I really did not realize where I was. I know this sounds ridiculous but I didn't capture the enormity of the caliber of the school I had lucked into. I don't believe I deserved to be admitted but I spent 12 years in a row at SC getting my BA, MA and PhD. It wasn't until I had left and moved to the east coast that I was able to look back and understand what a fabulous oppurtunity I had had because I went to USC. Now.......how do I get my 3 sons in?????????????? Starting Job: Doctor, Preparedness: B+, Reputation: F Have a Question?
