<p>Jack,
You are thinking of London and suburbs as Britain. The article probably included Scotland and Wales. It did not state England alone. Keep in mind USC has premier schools of music, theatre, architecture, cinema, gerontology and others that draw students from around the world. To study the violin with Midori or the cello with Ralph Kirshbaum is a dream for musicians who are at that talent level. Theatre alumni bring home Tonys, Academy Awards and Golden Globes year after year. Aspiring writers want to study with T.C. Boyle. Future neuroscientists hope to do research work with Honda Prize winner Dr. Antonio Damasio and Dr. Larry Swanson. The entrepreneurship program in Marshall is superb. Think of Kinko’s, California Pizza Kitchen, Pinkberry, Wham-O, MySpace, Trader Joe’s, Salesforce.com, Geocities.com, Dollar Rent A Car, Public Storage, Quiksilver, Vizio, Majestic Realty and Value America among many others were founded by USC business alumni. </p>
<p>Did you read the thread about faculty members from Oxford and Cambridge who will be joining the SC faculty this summer? </p>
<p>Gifts this year of over $600 million and rising will keep SC moving forward.</p>
