I have graduated from USC's Marshall business schoolQuite BrightBusiness - Management and Administration
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.

Question
USC is just an over-rated college.Quite BrightAccounting
USC is just an over-rated college. Who cares what the US news report says or ranks this college. All the admins at this school wants to do is tweak the SAT or ACT score numbers so that they look better than UCLA. USC students are also immature, play their music loud in the dorms, place condoms on doorknobs, and the RAs are a joke. I have complained to my RAs about noise from my neighbor and they blame me for everything. I will never forget my horrible living experiences in the dorms at USC. I am very bitter and angry that students at this school are close-minded, segregated, party animals and even to a point, they're racist. I won't even send my kids to this school. NEVER!!
