My kids are both happy USC alums. They were both able to find their niches. S was an engineering major and enjoyed Ultimate (frisbee), rock climbing (started a club at USC, which USC helped buy supplies for), geology in connection with his rock climbing), and in SR year took up sailing. D was a cinema major and took up fencing and polo. I don’t believe either of my kids or their friends are ‘spoiled rich kids,’ and we and they feel they got a great education at USC. There are, as has been posted, tremendous opportunities for the students and alums. D was thrilled that they were able to skype with Microsoft in one of her classes and the Microsoft came to their last class to look over the projects that the students completed and give feedback.

They have tremendous internship and job fairs and placements. The facilities are gorgeous. It is becoming more and more gentrified, so that the working class parts of the areas around campus are being purchased when available and converted into student housing. My kids both enjoyed their experiences at USC and D has chosen to rent a place near campus since she graduated, so she can have access to the career resources and career fairs on campus.
