I’m happy to help. I don’t go to USC yet but i hope to in the fall, but i still know alot about this specific school. The area USC is in is not really that bad as people make it sound and watts is not even that close to the school, but it’s still important to have saftey in mind. As far as i know it think this is about one extra elective class you can take per a semester and if you have APs to cover your necessary classes than i’m sure you’ll also have extra time for electives. However, the school of architecture really wants commited students to the program, that’s why they require a portfolio for admission, that’s why there are plenty of jokes about how architectual students have no life outside of the studio. There are plenty of things to do on and off campus considering the mere fact that you are in downtown LA. The University village, honestly is not that good at all and looks 30 years outdated, and everyone admitts to the fact that there is nothing really to do there, so for real fun you have to go on the bus or drive somewhere, but you’re near enough to the beach, hollywood, beverly, and downtown fun. That’s about all i can offer in help since i’m a senior too, like you. You have already been admitted to the university, and the school of architecture ? If so congrats!
