<p>My friend’s brother transfered from USC to Penn State after one term. </p>
<p>The neighborhood around USC is kind of sketchy and made hanging out off campus (without a car) difficult. He also didn’t want to join a fraternity, but found he had a very limited social life without being part of a frat. Penn State was also closer to home, and way cheaper. It just wasn’t a good fit for him; he’s much happier at Penn State.</p>
