<p>Hi there,</p>

<p>I am wondering which apartment / residence hall is the best in USC for transfer students. here are my options:</p>

<p>Residence halls

  • Honors House
  • Parkside International Resident College </p>

<p>Apartments

  • Annenberg House
  • Cardinal Gardens
  • Cardinal 'n Gold
  • Founders
  • La Sorbonne
  • Manor
  • Max Kade House
  • Pacific
  • Parkside Apartments
  • Regal Trojan
  • Severance Street Apartments
  • Sierra
  • Stardust
  • Sunset
  • Troy Hall
  • Troy Hall East
  • Vista
  • Webb Tower
  • Windsor </p>

<p>I want to be as close to the campus (library, business school, computer lab) as possible, less people sharing a unit, and lower price. </p>

<p>Any ideas? Or any experience living in any of the above dorms?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

2

<p>Have you already been accepted?</p>

3

<p>actually I am really shocked that I am accepted that early …</p>

<p>but I have to apply for housing right now asap …</p>

<p>any advice?!</p>

4

<p>wow, congrats.</p>

<p>yep, you should send housing asap.</p>

<p>Also, what were your transfer statistics? </p>

<p>thanks</p>

5

<p>was your envelope big or small?</p>

6

<p>She’s bogus!</p>

7

<p>They don’t segregate transfer students for housing. There’s no “transfer housing.”</p>

8

<p>

i think you took it too literal</p>

9

<p>ok, my bad. Then I guess I just don’t get it. Sorry. Or maybe I’m just envious that she’s the only transfer on Earth that’s received word and she’s already looking into housing. ;)</p>

10

<p>I heard that housing is full too, so I will apply asap.</p>

<p>Does anyone go / know someone that goes to USC?! I want to know more about the school, social life, the people, and the Business School (Major: Business marketing)</p>

<p>I have to say I am totally shocked when I see the thick envelope~ I thought I would hear in May or most probably June but I found out early this week …</p>

<p>And yep, there isn’t any “transfer housing” specifically but a lot of the housing for continuing students are “open” (though they are full right now) for transfer students.</p>

11

<p>Oh, my stats:</p>

<p>international transfer student, studying in WA
GPA = 4.0
a bunch of activities (intl student org VP, student ambassador, senator, PTK member, intl student mentor)
I think my essay was ok, not excellent but not bad</p>

<p>major: business marketing.</p>

<p>Would anyone please tell me more about USC and the B School?</p>

<p>Thanks. Good luck to everyone.</p>

12

<p>jobu i dont think shes “bugus” because i got in too. recieved it in the mail today. came from a cc college. the acceptance came in a big envelope but i dont know about housing maggie. good luck finding some housing</p>

<p>Hi denverted,</p>

<p>Congrats to your admission too!</p>

<p>Are you from CA?!</p>

<p>Will you apply for housing too?</p>

14

<p>Do you guys know how big the USC campus is?</p>

<p>I dont want to live in an apartment which is like 30 min away from my classes.</p>

15

<p>so, wait, on-campus housing for transfers is full? does that mean that it’s completely full, or that they’ll open more spots eventually?</p>

16

<p>oxygenbarfight,</p>

<p>I don’t know, I just know that for continuing students it is full, so I am just crossing my fingers that I will have a place to live.</p>

<p>are you a transfer student accepted by USC too?</p>

17

<p>i’m a transfer student, but i haven’t been accepted yet. i applied for journalism at annenberg, whose admissions have told me they wouldn’t be sending out notifications till at least may 10.</p>

<p>STATS:
*3.67 at Biola University, double-major in Print Journalism and Philosophy, with a minor in Biblical Studies
*Founder and President of the Society of Political Agnostics
*Association of Student Philosophers member
*Overseas relief experience
*Recs from philosophy professor, current L.A. Times features writer, and former L.A. Times editor/Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist
*Good essay</p>

<p>oxygenbarfight,</p>

<p>I think you have better stats than mine, don’t worry.
Best of luck!</p>

<p>It kinda sucks when you have to wait until May 10~</p>

19

<p>maggie, it definitely does suck having to wait till may 10, primarily because i’ll still have to register for next semester at my current school.</p>

<p>thanks for the encouragement. your stats look great too, though you don’t need me to affirm that since it already has been by your admittance :slight_smile: congrats!</p>

20

<p>Yeah, congrats guys, sounds like us tranfers should be expecting confirmations (the good variety) sooner rather than later.</p>
