I can't really judge it because I didn't really travel that far outside the campus besides the bus ride back to the airport [View Full Report]

Do not like Los Angeles. Too crowded. Traffic is horrendous. Could not stand to live/commute there, but the USC campus was an oasis in the midst of all that chaos. [View Full Report]

LA has everything from beaches to comedy clubs to concerts. Plenty of stuff to do outside of USC's gates. [View Full Report]

USC is in an urban environment close to a major highway. If you like the energy and buzz that creates you'll love it there. If you want something quieter it may not be for you. [View Full Report]

There is so much to do in LA. Great beaches around it, Disneyland is close, Hollywood is fun, and all the areas around it are great as well. [View Full Report]

Let's face it, USC is isolated. Unless you have a car or are okay with mooching off of others to take you places, you are kinda stuck on campus. And there's not much to do in the surroundi [View Full Report]

Students commented that they preferred staying on campus during weekend time, because the neighborhood is very rough and has no points of interest. The great campus at USC makes up for that. [View Full Report]

The Los Angeles area is rich with professional and personal opportunities that would be difficult to find elsewhere. Hollywood right up the road, beach right down freeway; just a happinin' place [View Full Report]

The So Cal area has so much to offer! Agree with the previous post -- not Westwood, but definitely not "ghetto" either -- go see for yourself. [View Full Report]

MANY USC students participate in the community in service and whatnot. The city LA is very diverse and a great place to be. Beach, desert, mountains all within driving distance. [View Full Report]
