<p>bnbsmom, I don’t think that not looking at a certain school’s board/looking at a certain school’s board on CC is an indicator if one is happy or not of his/her college choice. I am glad your son is happy at his choice, and so am I. 
However, I am always curious to know what is going on in the entirety of the city, even the rival school across town. </p>
<p>With that said, I admit that beyphy’s post right above this is pretty fiery to say the least. I’m not taking any sides although the general consensus among USC students is that if I am on these boards it’s because I’m up to no good which is something I really despise. </p>
<p>One difference to note between the people perusing the UCLA and USC boards I noticed from spending time on BOTH boards is that USC students mind their own business more and stay on their own board while the UCLA students either are curious or like to be mischievous/cause raucous. The main issue here is that USC students tend to be on “high alert” for some reason and assume that if a bruin is caught on their board something is awfully wrong and they are up to no good. I haven’t seen this prejudice happen at all on the UCLA board but maybe that’s just because like I said, USC students tend to mind their own business and keep themselves to their own territory. </p>
<p>Moral of the story: I try really hard not to cause mischief. I admit that it’s pretty hard if not impossible to try to argue that you’re not causing mischief when you post an article like this, however, it’s still not right to assume someone is up to no good if they are not like you. Some people are curious and go on other boards, post threads on other boards, and discuss things on other boards. I noticed USC kids don’t do this at all and stay on this board, that doesn’t mean in any way shape or form bruins are up to no good if we are seen on these boards.</p>
