Our son is currently a freshman at USC and also a Trustee Scholarship winner. Rice is a phenomenal school but the opportunities at USC for Trustee Scholarship winners are enormous. As a Trustee winner, you would probably be able to live at USC Village, which is a 700 million project on the north side of campus which will be opening this fall. USC Village will have dorms, a full service grocery store, a student recreation center and more. Trustee winners can go beyond 18 units per year at no cost if they want to take additional classes. Double majoring is very possible and there are literally hundreds of minors, including interdisciplinary minors. The sports scene is incredible and USC should be a championship contender in football this fall. The school’s endowment is close to $6,000,000 and the school seems to be on a push to make their facilities and programs “the best.” Given your scholarship and obvious excitement at the prospect of spending your next four years in Los Angeles, I can’t imagine that you would have any regret in attending USC. Good luck (and if at USC, fight on!).
