<p>Hi hmeyer918:</p>
<p>To answer your question, we have not visited the campus yet. We calculated the time commitment and financial cost of visiting multiple colleges scattered across the Southeast. It seemed more economical to cast a wide net on applications, and then visit only the subset of schools that met the following criteria: 1) extended an offer of admission to our son, and 2) promised to be affordable. As a McNair finalist, USC meets the second criterion. We are very excited, and look forward to visiting on McNair Scholars Candidate Weekend. Our understanding is that USC is beautiful.</p>
