For what it’s worth, I dropped out of USC earlier this year. I was admitted as a Philosophy major from Orange Coast College in 09’. Didn’t really mesh well with the student body, namely because one, I’m a bit older than the rest (veteran) and two, my academic interests weren’t being fulfilled by the curriculum. Among other things, their weak core and minimal emphasis towards an interdisciplinary education got on my nerves. Meaning, combining maths, humanities, and business proved to be very difficult for a student seeking a rigorous liberal arts program AND a business education. All biases aside, it’s a great college, always loved it while growing up, and really have nothing terrible to say about it. Just wasn’t a great fit. My passions and goals are still intact, if not more so. If you’re not getting what you want from your education, go somewhere where you will. That’s my current mantra. I’m back in CCC now (which was a more prudent path since most of my credits were earned there) and on track to a Berkeley Haas transfer.

If all goes well, maybe we’ll see each other there!
