Things to See

Welcome to SC! We hope you have a great time touring the campus even though classes will not be in session. Do arrange in advance to take the campus tour.
These are some places to visit on campus which you might enjoy seeing:

1. The famous School of Cinematic Arts, fantastic state of the art complex for film
2. Bovard Auditorium, carefully restored where wonderful concerts take place
3. Doheny Library, one of 19 libraries on campus which is known for the beautiful mosaics and works of art displayed there
4. Campus bookstore which has all kinds of USC T-shirts, jackets, photos, etc.
5. Viterbi School of Engineering game pipes lab
6. If you can receive permission, visit one of the gorgeous sorority chapter houses
7. Little Chapel of Silence, a tiny chapel which is a quiet place of contemplation
8. Widney Hall, restored historic building now used for alumni gatherings
9. Heritage Hall, view the seven Heisman Trophies and learn a bit about the athletic tradition at SC
10. Mudd Hall of Philosophy, often seen in films made on campus
11. The Trojan Shrine, Tommy Trojan statue
12. Cognitive Neuroscience Imaging Center and the Molecular and Computational Biology Building, a center equipped with the latest scientific equipment and labs

Worth visiting off campus....

Walt Disney Concert Hall, home of the Los Angeles Symphony. The building was designed by SC alumnus, Frank Gehry.
Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena
The Getty Museum
The Coliseum, home of two Olympics where SC plays their home games
Griffith Park Observatory
The Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens
Lovely neighborhoods of Brentwood, Holmby Hills and Bel Air
Rodeo Drive shopping

More distant places if you have time....
Disneyland
Gorgeous homes and views in Palos Verdes
Old Town Pasadena
Hiking in Runyon and Topanga Canyons
Newport Beach

It is difficult to choose places in Los Angeles which is a dynamic urban area where more than 100 languages are spoken. It is a world leader in aerospace, entertainment, fashion, technology, telecommunications, biomedicine and trade.
