<p>rascalmuffin, I would recommend USC. It is extremely diverse. Looking to study architecture I did consider McGill as an option, but I was turned off by their emphasis on extensive chemistry and physics in their program, and I like USC’s incorporation of other elements. </p>
<p>McGill and Montreal are very nice, but I have heard alot of complaints about McGill that are similar to what is heard about some of the public schools in California, such as budget cuts to public education resulting in cut programs and facilities that are not completely up to par. Those concerns are not prevalent at USC. </p>
<p>Only 20% of the USC student body is in Greek life, and this includes service and professional Greek orgs. That means over 80% of students are experiencing social life outside of the Greek system. You will definitely find alot of other people like you. </p>
<p>Also, Annenberg does require a special application when adding a major or switching to their school, but they make the process easy, and if you want to be in comm, they will make it possible, not to mention that USC has a very strong communication program with lot of connections and access to resources in LA. Geena Davis just spoke at their graduation, which is exciting!</p>
<p>The stereotypes you have heard of are true for a part of the population, as they are for any university, and USC is so diverse that there is really no majority of a type of student at USC. And about international enrollment, USC has the largest international student enrollment in the US.</p>
