<p>I’m currently applying for engineering (haven’t submitted my app yet)</p>
<p>Here’s a list of questions I’m curious about; I don’t expect you to answer all of them and you can pick and choose whichever ones you want to answer. </p>
<p>[ul]
[<em>]If I were to get accepted into engineering, would I be able to take a lot of classes in humanities/arts to meet more people? I hear rumors that engineering classes for any university are basically 100% guys.
[</em>]How easy is it to meet new people? How does freshman orientation work and did you feel like you had a lot of friends after the first week or did you have to slowly make friends one by one over a long period of time?
[<em>]Are a majority of the guys jocks and are a majority of the girls the female equivalent of jocks? (Yes, I’m using “jock” as a pejorative term.)
[</em>]I’ve heard that the nearby neighborhood isn’t really that great. Is this true? Also, if I don’t have a car, would that drastically impede my social life? I hear rumors from a lot of people that if you want to go to college in LA, you basically have to have a car in order to do anything.
[<em>]How good/bad is the food?
[</em>]What are the best dorms like? What are the worst dorms like? Describe the dorm that most people get?
[<em>]What’s the best part about USC in your opinion? What’s the worst?
[</em>]What advice would you give to incoming freshmen to make life easier/better? In other words, what would you have liked to have known from Day 1?

<p>Thanks for your time!</p>
<p>Lastly, props to you guys for the constant contact. I get emails/mailings from USC every so often whereas other schools don’t send stuff :P</p>
