At USC you only have to audition at the music school to be able to take music lessons, practice in the practice rooms or perform in any of the various music venues available.You dont have to have a music minor to do any of the above , though music majors and minors DO have first dibs on registration for music classes. USC has LOTS of International students, and in 2017 the new University Village residential campus will be finished allowing all UG’s to live on campus all 4 years.
