<p>Totally agree with you. LA certainly does have character, although it is a place people just love or just hate. Personally, I loved it when I visited, but it’s also very clear why many people wouldn’t like it (traffic, smog, poor public transport etc.)</p>
<p>I also liked the USC campus a lot, although I have to admit UCLA was equally as good and in a better area of LA. The atmosphere at USC is really good, because it’s a relatively small campus (in terms of area, not students) with a rich academic, cultural and sporting life.</p>
