Man, I love USC. </h2>
<p>Hey yo. I’m a freshman at USC and let me just tell you that I absolutely love it. I’m majoring in political science/international relations. The campus is really pretty! I am smiling everyday when I walk to class through McCarthy Quad when I see the green grass, pretty fountains, and the sun is shining on my face. </p>
<p>USC has beautiful people. I have yet to stay at a campus with more good looking people. </p>
<p>The campus is diverse. Sure, there are the rich, blonde airheads but not as many as the stereotypes suggest. Last week, I played Clue with 2 Brazilian girls and a French guy. I’m taking comparative politics so I knock on the door of a girl in my hall and ask her about Taiwan’s government. The good friends I’ve made so far: an Indian girl from Dallas, an Asian girl from Switzerland, a Hawaiian girl, a piano/guitar performer from New York, Hong Kong kids, etc. There’s plenty of international students, out-of-state kids, private school kids, public school kids, poor kids, rich kids, etc. You just don’t see this kind of diversity at, let’s say, a public school like UCLA where almost everyone is from SoCal. </p>
<p>I love my classes. </p>
<p>The neighborhood is bad, sure. BUT, with **Campus Cruiser, you can have a car take you anywhere within a three-mile radius of the campus<a href=“where%20all%20the%20parties%20are”>/b</a> and it runs until 3 am every night. It’s not as bad as people make it sound though. It’s not Westwood, but it’s real life. I take the Metro Bus if I need to go downtown and it’s a short and scenic bus ride. You really do gain street smarts and learn about city life.</p>
<p>The campus is COMPLETELY SAFE. Campus police patrols the campus all night. There are emergency booths all around campus in case you ever need help. Not that I’d recommend it, but I go for a jog at 2 am around the campus and I feel completely safe doing so. </p>
<p>I’m not involved in Greek life but I still get plenty of social **** in. I study hard from Sunday night to Wednesday night and then party the rest of the weekend. Frat parties are insane but chillin’ in the apartments is fun too. There are numerous clubs with very friendly people. </p>
<p>I feel like I’m very well taken care of at USC. The resources, the people, the connections–I love it all. I’m very happy.</p>
<p>I hope that helps some.
