The student season ticket (6 home games) is $145. The USC ticket office sends an email to new students in about mid-June with a PIN insturucting them how to log in and purchase the season ticket. Last year we had no trouble getting one.

Spring admits can't apply until July I believe. I learned that the hard way.

i was wondering if anyone knew how low can your grades drop before you get rescinded?
i heard you usually need to maintain your average, which mine was a 3.8
i will be getting 3 Bs, possibly a 4th, but no C's which will bring my gpa to a 3.4 or even 3.2 with the fourth B
will i still be okay even if my gpa for second semester will drop drastically?

xboredguy: I can't speak for the University on that one, but I've yet to hear of anyone getting rescinded... I'm guessing your grades would have to drop significantly, but I'm not sure. I would say try your best to keep them up (obviously), but not to panic if you can't.

Now that most of us has finished making deposits, housing plans and orietation, I was wondering if there was anything else we should be doing. Should we start applying for stafford loans, private loans now or should we wait until orientation to deal with financial aid? And is there any additional paperwork that should be filled out while we are waiting for high school to end?

jdub,
Check out the Facebook group.....USC Class of 2013. Sign up. There seem to be students still looking for roommates. There are some upperclassmen/women who have given their opinions on the dorms.
You might be fortunate and find someone who registered early and is still looking for a compatible person.
Good luck. Best wishes on your admittance.

I will be attending USC in the fall and I've heard great things about the USC network. However, I don't want to live in California after I graduate. I want to live in New York or maybe Washington, D.C., definitely somewhere further east. Is the USC network good for everywhere or just LA and the rest of California? Thanks!

jdub: as people find out whether or not they are compatible with their roomtes, many of them may be applying for reassignment, so all hope is not lost as far as getting into the dorm of your choice... housing is guaranteed your freshman year, so they will find room for you in one of the on-campus dorms.... as for other options if you are not happy with your housing assignment, i would look into housing on the row... they're completely renovating a number of houses on the row and are looking for people to live in them. These aren't greek houses, but are located on the row (best of both worlds?)

I just recently found out that I have the choice of attending USC for Fall or stick with Spring... I was considering Spring because it would be cheaper but I dont know. Does a lot happen in first semester that would make it difficult to catch up if you came in during spring?

lazpotatohead01: COME IN THE FALL! that's my opinion at least. if you come in the spring, there wont necessarily be a lot to "catch up" on... but coming in the fall will give you a chance to knock out a bunch of your GEs andddd be around for football season. I'd say its a no brainer...

good point, but I was planning on taking GEs at a CC... I have a question, if you took GEs at a CC for fall and enter as spring, does the GPA roll over or do you start on a blank slate. This sounds retarded but I was thinking if the GPA did roll over, it would be better to do really well in CC and start out with a high GPA
