| Quite Bright | I have graduated from USC's Marshall business school quite a while back. I have to say that I was totally dissatisfied with my college undergrad experience at USC. I think my huge dissatisfaction stemmed from the a-hole attitude that L.A. people have in general. I also HATED my experience living in the dormitories. I lived in Marks Tower during my freshmen year, and had problems with neighbors turning up their music deliberately to annoy me. I talked to my RA and the head RA, and basically, they didn't seem to want to help me. There was also this a-hole indian punk named ajay who always kept bumping into me who wanted to start fights with me. Basically, USC students in general are immature and childish people. I also had a horrible experience living in the dorms during my sophomore year. I had students around me throw trash in front of my door and place a condom on my doorknob. I wish I would not have gone to USC and spend a single penny for this school. I will not send my kids to this corrupt, a-hole, attitude problem-laced school in the future. | |  | | |

I am a hardworking student, who enjoys learning for the sake of learning. I am a freshman here, so I have been here for around two months....and WOW did I make a mistake. I really am not happy with my decision. Here are the good and bad things about the school:
Good:
-The weather is really nice....can't beat the California sun.
-Generally, people are laid back and approachable.
-You do feel safe on campus, despite it being in a bad part of town. There are always security cars driving around.
-Most of the buildings are clean and newer.
Bad:
-The majority of teachers are awful. They may be very smart, but are not good at teaching. They treat you as a number, not a person, and are even a bit rude. When approached during office hours, they are hardly welcoming, and make you feel as though you are wasting their time.
-While most students are approachable, they are in general very obnoxious, loud, and immature. I have never seen such a concentration of immature people in my life.
-This is a serious party school- DO NOT come here if you are the least bit opposed to drinking/partying. I am very opposed to it, therefore I am having a hard time finding people with similar views.
-The students are generally very spoiled. You always see girls with their $500 boots whining and complaining to each other about how awful their lives are and how they have a midterm coming up or something.....hello- midterms are part of college.
-Counselors of all sorts are very rude and unhelpful. I don't blame them for being tired with all of the crap that the spoiled students give them though.
-This school is way too focused on it's name, and not focused enough on its students' success. All the school cares about is money and reputation.
-This school is way too entranced with football and drinking. That is about all there is to do here. If you are into those things, you will probably love it, but for someone who isn't, it is not the right fit.
I have only been here for 2 months but WOW was it a mistake.....I realized it right after orientation (pretty soon, huh?) that this was not the place for me. I cannot wait to transfer.....seriously, I'm counting the days. | Extracurricular Activities: A, Faculty Accessibility: D+ | | | |

| Quite Bright | I am currently in my first semester here and wow what a mistake. I got accepted to UC Berkeley and chose not to go there because it was huge and SC has very good Film and Communications (Annenberg) Schools which is what I'm studying. It was a really tough decision and from the moment I got here I knew I fucked myself over. I should have gone to Berkeley where people are friendly, accepting, intelligent, and not all rich jocks and sorority hoes or nerdy international engineering students. If you do not fit the stereotype, don't come here. its not worth it. don't come here for academics or an open social scene. I hate it here, and want to transfer so bad. and by the way, I'm an average, social, intelligent, athletic girl from Long Beach/ Orange County, CA. The people here and filthy LA suck! | Education Quality: A-, Individual Value: F | | | |

I've only been here about two months, but I've experienced enough to give me a decent amount to comment on.
I can definitely say I'm surprised to read some of the negative reviews, but everyone has their own experiences, opinions, etc.
Good Things:
1. The type of student attracted: I have generally enjoyed the company of people in my building/classes. There is the occasional jerk, but most people are friendly and interesting, just trying to be successful just like you! No matter what personality you have or look for - you'll find it here.
2. Diversity: there's a good reason the university claims to have the most diversity of any in the country. There are so many international students here - it's amazing! Probably not the best place to attend if you tend to have racist tendencies, but otherwise, you'll really enjoy the culture and diversity offered.
3.Extra-curriculars: Lots of clubs and sports. (no soccer for men though!) For pretty much anything you're looking for, it can be found in some organization.
4.Food: The meal plans are expensive, but the main dining hall cooks pretty decent food and even the basic meal plan is generous with meals - you'll have tons left over.
5. Safety: This area of L.A. is known for being dangerous - but it's honestly not that bad. The UNIV tends to clean up the area - and the Department of Public Safety patrols probably more than needed. They're typically very relaxed about rules, etc., but they do take our safety seriously.
Bad things:
1.Imbalanced majors: Fine arts and architecture students, etc. have loads more work than most other majors. I think hours of work/intensity could be a little bit more balanced; some majors stress out the kids just too much.
2.Expenses: this is self-explanatory. Basically, expect to be nickled and dimed.
3. Traffic: Lots of cars, bikes, and people on a small campus. If you have classes at the same times as many people, you'll have to leave early if you want to get there without a hassle or on-time.
4. Bureaucracy: In a way I'm sure the UNIV is ahead of the pack in intensity, it's a very bureaucratic school. Lots of hoops and obstacles to jump through to get even simple things done, but I still feel like it was worth the effort. | Individual Value: A+, Campus Maintenance: B- | | | |
