The University of Southern California

All i can say is im LEAVING USC AND IM SO HAPPY At first USC seemed like a nice school, i mean the campus looks nice, but at night the place is a playground for crime. Everyones stuff gets stolen, bikes computers, and people freqently get held up at gunpoint (USC is in south central los Angeles) I came to do Buisness but i quickly learned that the B- curve at Marshall School of buisness had ruined the chance of everyone ive ever met at USC that did buisness chance of going to GRAD school. So i canged my major to COMM but now i am so sick of this awful money hungry school that i decided to cut my losses (of 36,000 for one year of tuition) and just go to CAL STAT LONG BEACH, (Im sure the educational quailty will be almost the same, USC is not as special as it tries to be) so yeah noone really likes USC my friends often complain about how they couldnt go anywhere else and how much marshall sucks but when UCLA people as them how is it they say they love it cause they dont want to look stupid for wasting so much money and ruining their chances at law school. well, i am ditching this place before its too late so long suckers at USC.Oh and also, USC is REALLY easy to get into, i got rejected from UC IRvine and UC Santa Barbra, but got into USC , hmmmm

Hi, I'm an alumn, and of course a former student of USC - Marshall Bus school. I'm originally from Hawaii, and boy was LA and USC such a cultural shock. At first, things seemed to be okay, the students...RA...Instructors. But as time went by, and by the time I was done with my second year here at USC/Prison, I realized how cold, selfish, rude and crassless the majority (not all of them) of students were, as well as some of the professors I've had. During my second year, I've always had students living in my dorm blast their music 24/7 withouth consideration for other people. The RA's also didn't seem to care, and whenever I complained to them, they would ignore me and tell me to buy ear plugs etc.... Like students and alumns below me stated, USC is such an EXPENSIVE school for such MEDIOCRE education. I don't understand why US News Report ranks USC as a top 40 college. USC should actually be in the second tier category along with Florida State and other jock-colleges. Now on to Marshall Bus. School. Somebody below me complained about the business school's 2.85-curve that seriously affected his overall GPA and chance to get into graduate or professional school. The same thing happened to me...so I bear witness to his or her account of Marshall B-school's scam (and I'm not one of the 12 people he or she knows). I've applied to graduate schools, and nobody except two small unacredited graduate schools accepted me. It was sad and a heart-breaker. If I had the chance to rewind my life, I would NEVER go back to USC. NEVER!
