Hi! I recently applied to USC as a PPD undergrad and I saw your comment about the major PPD being 'not challenging'. I know it must have been a while since you've written this ..but can you elaborate more on that? |
Major: PreDent and Dentistry (This Major's Salary over time)
USC is definitely the best school in the world. As opposed to it's rival school, UCLA, people who attend USC are well rounded individuals.People: The people here are extremely nice and friendly. Don't believe the comments that call us "self absorbed" and "snotty". I have yet to actually meet one person who's like that. People here are laid back (going to class in sweats not dressed up like they're going to a club) and extremely school spirited.Campus: The campus is absolutely beautiful although it's definitely in the worst part of LA. Just this year alone, there were 2 sexual assaults on campus, a shooting, and a stabbing on campus. And the school didn't even tell the students about it until it was too late. Now the campus police are finally doing their job instead of yelling at people for riding bikes on the walkways.Dorms: Most of the dorms here are pretty nice with the exception of Trojan Hall and a few others. If you are an incoming Freshman, I'd recommend you stay at Parkside. It was built just a couple years ago. Otherwise, I would recommend Tuscany, which is NOT affiliated with USC so it could be a bit pricier than the rest.Activities: Believe it or not, USC parties hard (we recently had one of our parties raided by the SWAT team complete with helicopters). We have a bar called 90 (or the 9-0 as we call it) which is in walking distance of the school. In addition to that, we also have the Row which is where all the frat and sorority houses are located. You will ALWAYS find a party if you go to the Row.Greek: The Greek system at USC is extremely strong and many students choose to join it. The best sororities are: Kappa Alpha Theta, Kappa Kappa Gamma, and Delta Gamma. The best frats are: Sigma Chi and Lambda Chi. Don't believe in the stereotype Greeks that they show in the TV shows and movies. Most people in the Greek system are very nice.Sports: Considering that our football team is in the top 10, school spirit here is amazing…especially during football season. Everyone always goes and has fun at the games. And there's always a million tailgate parties on campus.Food: To be honest, the food is good anywhere but EVK.Academics: The academics here are amazing. Even the "easy" classes are hard. Any major that's here at USC will always challenge you, unless of course you're major is PPD.Advice:
