<p>You will see rich, snobby kids are either school. But that’s a such a small proportion since USC is so large. You can literally find ANY kind of person at USC (and I’m guessing UNC, for the most part). Now I’ve never actually visited UNC, so I can not comment on them. But USC does have the most international students at any university in the country.</p>
<p>Now for my personal view. There are many kids who do come from affluent families, but there are also many people who come from poorer families. I’ve never seen an issue where someone wouldn’t hang out with someone based on their wealth. After all, we’re all people and money doesn’t define us. Some of my friends have many houses, yachts, etc, but you wouldn’t know that just meeting them as they’re warm, kind individuals. I also am friends with people who found it was cheaper for them to go to USC than the likes of UCLA and Berkeley (instate) due to financial aid! So money is definitely not an issue in terms of people separating into groups based on their wealth.</p>
<p>There are a lot of Asian people at USC, can’t deny that. I have found that a lot of the Asian kids from Asia do tend to hang out with each other. But generally, I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s “overwhelming”. Don’t forget USC is one of the top schools in the country and is located in CA. Of course there will be lots of Asian students, but if you were to compare it to Stanford and the UCs, I would definitely say it is not overwhelming.</p>
<p>To tell you the truth, I would say that there aren’t as many black students as I’d expect. From a university as diverse as USC, I’d have expected more, but there aren’t as many as I thought there would be. But not all black students are athletes, there are a lot that I know who didn’t even play sports in high school, lol! But there ARE a lot of Latino students. Much more than I expected truthfully.</p>
<p>So all in all, there is a lot of diversity at USC so I don’t think you’d have any problems :)</p>
