I’ll just weigh in as another satisfied parent of a USC student. He’s a NM finalist, film and computer science student, Thematic Option participant. At one point, I questioned whether he would fit in at USC, and some of my impressions were definitely based on old data. USC has been an amazingly great place for him. He’s met a diverse array of fellow students, which has been really important to a kid raised in a liberal and relatively privileged environment. His friends are terrific; some are brainy, some are creative; some are more driven than others. At his house, they shoot movies and debate politics - and yes, they have an occasional blowout party, but they’re over 21 and have turned into responsible adults. No regrets here!
