<p>My daughter at USC doesn’t feel like she is on commuter campus. I think USC is comparable to many large school in terms of housing. For instance, Alabama has freshmen requirement to live on campus like USC, but Auburn doesn’t even guarantee housing for freshmen. Many smaller schools do, but that is just one element you have to look at when picking a college (my other D is at very good small LAC that basically doesn’t have on campus housing after sophmore year).</p>
