Dormitories:
Did not see the dorms, but they use a hotel for one of them. You get a maid once a week and everything. Not appealing to me, but I can see the pull for others.

It's not the best place for a university. I don't want to mislead anybody, so let me just say that when you walk off campus, you have to worry about getting shot or getting mugged.

Same as above. I would not go off campus after about 7 or 8.

Campus Visit Notes for University of Southern California


Visit Description:

The campus is beautiful, although I don't like how rushed and stressed everybody felt on campus. And off campus is not even an option. You're giving this school a lot of money (about 54,000 dollars a year), you should feel safe.
