Another parent here -
Hayden, you got it right with your impressions. I don’t know what it is about USC but the type of student (and their parents) who they either select or who accept admission there are positive, upbeat and friendly. Though they may seem to over do the talk of the “Trojan Family” at the receptions you really do feel the caring undercurrent once you are there.
As far as the dog statue, according the the USC history, " Rescued from Santa Monica beach in 1946, a feisty stray dog nicknamed George Tirebiter is elected as USC’s student body mascot" He liked to bite tires, hence the name
. The told the story to us during parents weekend. Now how many universities have a statue honoring a fiesty pooch???
