USC has done a lot of fund raising in the last decade, they have recruited top faculty and have worked to improve academic quality. I would now put them as NYU like school, an Ivy wannabe. Yes, they do have the rich spoiled hard partying kids who can pay their way and academics are secondary. They also offer half tuition scholarships for National Merit Finalists.

USC is what you make of it. You can get a top notch education you have (or is it had) a top notch football team for those who want school with athletic and academic reputation. Or you can party around. After all, it is in LA.

I think is very different from what it was two decades ago. If you child is motivated and mature enough to stay from trouble, he/she will do fine.
