Campus Visit Notes for University of Southern California
Visit Description:
Our group consisted of #1 son, a junior; #2 son, an 8th grader; #1 son's girlfriend, also a junior; and her mom and I. Two other 8th grade students and their moms joined us later for a concert. We came up for a visit during our spring break and arrived early for our tour. We went and had lunch in the student union. The tour was nice and informative. Afterwards we wandered around campus, stopped by the bookstore, and checked out the music department.
We had arranged to be there on the day of a percussion concert so we could see their music program (#1 son is a percussionist.) We were also able to watch the drum line practice for awhile outside the bookstore before the concert. We thought it interesting that the marching band is not affiliated with the music department in any way.
The concert was excellent and really confirmed son's desire to be a trojan.

Other Comments (Transportation, local attractions, parking, etc.):
Parking was very easy. We had the same parking lot when we came back for auditions this year.
