I’m deciding between USC and UCSD, hate the USC campus but love its people, and love the UCSD campus but think it needs more pep.

1. How hectic is the city life? I'm kind of excited and concerned that la (even though its not the ritzy area) is right out of your doorstep, and while i like the idea of catching a weekend bus to downtown or a train to santa monica I worry that the scene will be too distracting, or that I'll never leave my bubble because of an unrelenting courseload.

2. How "real" is the trojan family? I never really feel a part of groups i join... should I expect more of the same?

3. How important is the name, from a college student perspective?

4. If you don't know exactly what you want to do, will you get lost in the crowd?

5. will i survive as an introvert? Or change to be more social? (trends you see, not me specifically-- that's impossible to tell)

5.what about fitness? mental health services? anything else?

Thanks
