<p>When it is time to sign up for housing, there is an on-line simple form to fill out which asks questions such as what time do you go to bed, do you prefer quiet?, and the like. My son’s floor is very quiet which he really likes. Please do not think that all of the dorms are loud because that is not true. Also, if you are thinking of living off campus in LA, you will need to factor in cost, food, transportation to USC, safety, etc. Since you are a prospective junior transfer, there is no guarantee of on-campus dorms. Best case is to live near USC, but off campus and you really need to check out the buildings for your comfort level. Not everyone parties at USC. There are a lot of smart, hard working students. At the same time, I hear that USC is a very social school which, in my opinion, is a positive thing.</p>
