The University of Southern California

Major: Music - Performance (This Major's Salary over time)
When I graduated from high school, I had to decide between USC and Berkeley as my undergrad education. I chose USC. I am now wholeheartedly regretting my decision. I was always kind of quiet in high school, but I had friends and I was very into fashion (I wasn't a loser.) I came to USC because I thought I would enjoy the campus more, and it had more flexible majors (Music industry and performance, etc.)I got to USC and joined a sorority. The sorority girls are extremely unsupportive of anything academic whatsoever, they party and drink when they are not in class, and the sorority houses are downright nasty. The professors are nice at first, but you come to find out that they are very arrogant and unwilling to help you. I moved out of the sorority my third year and moved into on-campus apartments. They are nice enough, but the place empties out on friday nights when everyone goes to drink. So many nights I sit in my room and cry because I hate it here so much, it is so hard to be someone who is quiet and shy at a place like this. I miss my family and friends in the bay area. I am just sad that I had to waste so much money on this place, that is the only reason why I am staying. I can't ever leave campus because the area is so bad here. Overall, I am not pleased at all with my decision to go to USC.
