<p>First, I want to transfer out of my private 4 years university because it is too expensive and I have already applied to the UCs. However, I heard tat USC gives good financial aid to freshmen but I am not sure whether will they give as much grants to transfers? It will be a waste of $$ for me to apply if the tuition is more expensive than my current university? And how’s the dorm life in USC cuz I plan to stay in the dorms? I would also to experience the dorm life instead of living with my parents.</p>
