Yes, there’s a Target on campus, in the USC Village, and there’s a 24-hour Starbucks. Plus there are food delivery options.
@romns116 I believe Target is open until 10:00pm.
There is also a CVS that is open until midnight. Plus…https://news.usc.edu/153615/students-get-round-the-clock-access-to-health-products/
@WWWard this really makes me sick. What are these parents really teaching their kids? You don’t really have to work hard because you have money and you can buy your way in?? This is so immoral.
Our kids have been working so hard to get into the colleges of their dreams and they have to also compete against the kids that are cheating their way in. This is crazy.
I feel bad for the kids that are at these schools now that had no idea that their parents cheated on their behalf to get them into these schools. . . .
@lkbux64 From the way the story reads there is NO WAY the students did not know their parents were cheating on their behalf unless they were too ignorant to even make it to class at a college. The student signs the application and is responsible for the veracity of the application. If they were using a fake offer from an athletic coach to get in there is little chance the student was not aware at some point. If they were cheating on the SAT or ACT there is ZERO way they would not have realized.
@usckid19 I would suspect such to be the case.
@romns116 Yes… multiple options exist within the DPS safety zone, and you can take a free ride to and from there via campus cruiser or lyft.
@artmom69 Yes… both sad and unfair. Its a true shame that some are willing to cheat the system and to harm all of the other applicants competing for the same limited # of spots.
@johngaltill And I have been able to quickly determine that these “students” include some current ones at USC. I will not name them… but I predict hard times ahead for them, especially in terms of dealing with their peers and instructors. In the end… was it all worth it to cheat your way in? Hopefully they now realize how karma can catch up with you in time…
Just came here to say it’s really unfortunate about the recent scandal. I mainly feel for all you that applied to this school because I know how stressful the whole admission process can be. Not just for USC but anywhere really. To know they are basically admitting people based on bribes, fraudulent SAT/ACT scores and who’s family is the wealthiest is just plain wrong. In fact, it’s STEALING admissions from students who actually put in the hard work and dedication over the course of several years. A lot of people are most likely going to get fired and rightfully so. I feel like we put a lot of trust into these schools thinking they will legitimately review our applications and for them to basically exploit that makes me sick to my stomach. As of today, I am much more skeptical about the college admission process than I was before. Best of luck to you all, hopefully you get the respect you deserve from all these schools.
@JohnGaltIII Yeah there is no way some of these students did not know. I’m guessing that’s the excuse some are gonna use to prevent from getting expelled.
@josini95 I think the system itself is morally corrupt.
And I thought I was getting denied from all the schools to which I applied, despite my 1560 SAT, because I was a white male. Now, I know it’s because my parents aren’t Hollywood stars shelling out big bribes.
Back in the 80s, I had applied to and been denied by Harvard. Within a week or two of that rejection, a man who I had just met through my father heard about it and asked me if I wanted him to intervene on my behalf. He suggested that his family had donated tens of millions of dollars to Harvard over the years and that the main library there is named after his family… implying that he could get involved on my behalf and have the decision reversed. I of course told him no thanks and that I’d rather go to a school that really wanted to admit me on the merits of my application alone. Back then… as a 17 year old, such a claim made zero sense to me. Of course, since then, I have learned that money and fame/celebrity can sway an admission decision. It remains just as unfair today as it was back then. It should never be that way… but such is the real world.
@slimjim005 I continue to hope that you find your proper place by April 1st. Good luck…
@SlimJim005 An admissions officer who was a bit overworked once said my son has the three marks of the beast. white male with married parents. So perhaps both are true. Being middle class and following the rules puts you in last in admissions.
As to one of those who paid this guy to obtain admission to USC here is a quote from them on Youtube AFTER she got in. What an addition to campus,
“I don’t know how much of school I’m gonna attend but I’m gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it all. But I do want the experience of like game days, partying…I don’t really care about school, as you guys all know."
@WWWard I think I’ll find a place — even if it’s the only school that has currently accepted me. I think this scandal makes me realize that a lot of these kids may not really be all that qualified. So, maybe some of these elite schools aren’t really all that elite — at least not elite in the sense that we previously thought of them.
@SlimJim005 It does not matter if the schools are elite or not they probably are not what people think. The important thing is if you are elite and work your butt off it will come out. I have a best friend whose situation was not far off from yours. He ended up in what at the time was his last choice, a regional state college whose name most would not know. After 4 years of working to his max in the classroom and in connected extracurriculars he ended up in law school at Yale. He is now partner in a top law firm in his city.
I guess that is what “holistic” approach to admissions decisions means. 
My parents are married as well. It didn’t occur to me that I would be penalized b/c my parents are still married to each other, but I can see why an elite school would consider that an advantage. No wonder these schools seem a little bit off now.
@JohnGaltIII I appreciate this info. It helps keep me going when I hear other stories like this.
my school is in a panic mode because lori loughlin’s daughters went to my school last year
they graduated from my school and our school is associated with many people on the list…
What is it they say? One bad apple spoils the bunch or something like that.
