It isn’t. I’m a full-tuition scholar at USC this year and I’m highly considering transferring out. USC has lots of problems, academic and non-academic. I’d be happy to talk to someone if they’re interested in the issues I’ve had with USC. As one of the top students admitted, I’ve felt the education is pretty bad, the quality of life bad, and the culture pretty poor. Feel free to message me with any questions about further details. I hope to illuminate many of the problems USC has and dismiss many of the existing over-optimistic fallacies about the school out there.
