The University of Southern California

USC was no what i expected out of a college at all!! I made a mistake (an expensive mistake) by coming here. All the students are totally caught up in the L.A. lifestyle and just walk around talkign about their fraternities or sororities and the lives of celebrities. What about academic issues you ask? Never. The professors were friendly and sometimes helpful but the classes were not challenging. Obviously its a trendy school (I have no idea why) and its hard to get into...but the academics have not caught up with the selectivity. The students are also snobby. Greek losers are sobby towards people not beautiful or involved with greek life. On the other hand, the film school students are snobby towards everyone not in the film school. My advise : Go elsewhere for an education...maybe one of the UC schools or an East Coast school. Come here if you want parties and glamor.

USC = Mediocre education for a high rip-off price. Looking back at my last three years at this institute, I feel that the students are so much into football, frats and partying. The people of LA also tend to be greedy, selfish, and materialistic..and in turn this culture is also reflected by SC students in general. Some of my professors didn't seem to want to help me. Some of the students I've worked with in groups were fake, and seem to be out to give me low grade with group evaluation. If I were to go back in time, I would NOT come to USC. NEVER!

USC is such a horrible school. You will feel so unwelcome, unwanted, and shut out if you're not a rich, snobby LA daddy's little girl or boy. And I wouldn't care so much if the faculty and education were at least decent, but the classes suck and the teachers would rather you flunk out. Such a rip off!!
