<p>My S is a Freshman CS major living at Birnkrant. He likes it there; however, he feels intimidated by all the brainiacs on his floor - haha!</p>
<p>I encouraged him to go through Spring Rush, as I did when I was in college; but he chose not too. He wanted to avoid the heavy party scene on The Row. Instead next semester, he hopes to live in University owned apartments with 3 of his new friends.</p>
<p>He does not have a car, he’s made good use of the public transportation system in LA. A good friend of his from HS is going to SMC and they see each often. He’s thankful he doesn’t have the hassle of parking and the associated costs of it there.</p>
<p>He is very happy with his decision to attend SC. This was re-enforced over Christmas break when visiting HS friends who chose to stay home and attend college in Nebraska. When comparing class notes, Viterbi blows away anything available here.</p>
