How bad is parking throughout the year at USC? Is it relatively easy to find a parking spot on campus during the Fall+Spring semesters or is it really difficult? Are there certain times of the semester where its more difficult to secure a spot than others? Are there certain lots that are better/less crowded than others? Are the lots safe---ever hear of any cars broken into? With that said, is buying a parking permit worth it?

Yeah, of course you have to use your dining dollars, you'll probably run out of those first.
I don't know how to explain this. Yes, 10 meals + dining dollars doesn't sound like enough food to get you through the week but it really is. USC has figured it out so that 10 meals is just right and if you have even 1 meal left over, they are profiting (well I'm speaking generally but you get the drift). At the end of the semester, I guarantee most people will have meals left over. Your eating habits tend to be erratic in college. Dining hall breakfast ends at 10:30 and you will soon see, its very empty compared to lunch and dinner. Most people either wake up too late, have class, eat breakfast in their room, etc. People are also deterred because dining hall Lunch and Dinner usually consists of the same food. IMO, it tends to get boring really fast and I found myself going off campus more than I thought I would.
Unless you eat 3 meals on campus everyday or find you really like dining hall food or are really pressed for cash, you will most likely have meals left over at the end.

Has anyone ever brought one of those travel coffee mugs to the eateries/cafeterias and filled it up with a drink of your choice after a meal or something to use after you leave?
Because I know they're pretty strict on taking extra food out except for a piece of fruit or something.

I personally haven't used a coffee mug, but I'm sure they wouldn't care as long as you're not like doing it right in front of their face. But if you're doing this to save meals, you'll probably end up going to EVK/Parkside JUST to get a drink or FroYo towards the end of the semester because you can't use all your meals.

I know this is realllly random but I received brochures from the USC tour. They said that last year 35,000+ students applied for 2,750 spots and 22% were offered admission, but in their profile the admissions offers stand at 7.855... I'm kinda confused about the admission offers part.

7,855 = offers, 2,750 = yield
About 35% of students offered admission attend.

Final decision for scheduling:
SOCI 150 with Kaplan or SOCI 250 with Eliasoph?

Is the TAP program extremely selective? According to my research, I must be admitted in USC first (notified April 1st) before being admitted into TAP (notified May 1st). However, if they tell me whether or not I'm into TAP on May 1st, which is the due date for admission response for my other schools, does that mean that I have to hit it or miss it with USC TAP program? xD Thanks!

I took SOCI 150 last year. Super boring, but easy.

I'm a spring admit majoring in business. I'm a bit worried that I will fall behind schedule. Based on my AP tests, I know I will get credit for Calc AB, Macro and Micro Econ, English (lang and lit), Chinese, Physics, US Govt, Euro history... I am going to attend CC in the fall. What other classes (besides English and Math) should I take in order to stay in task with everyone else???
