<p>@ArtsandLetters - Well, I’m still in high school currently hence the low post counts. I’ve been doing research on colleges as I’ll be applying in the fall and USC is one of the schools I’m seriously considering. As I’ve stated previously, a preview of the not-yet-published book was forwarded to me by a friend of the author. I certainly agree with you that his depiction felt stereotyped. My inclination is not to believe him and a similar thread here <a href=“My Time At USC - A Senior Looking Back - University of Southern California - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-southern-california/1640348-my-time-at-usc-a-senior-looking-back-p1.html</a>. I appreciate all the responses on the board. Apology to the author if I violated any rules. Is there a way to edit old posts and remove some of the contents?</p>
