Would I Fit in at USC?

For what it’s worth, I have a lot of friends who are nursing majors. The ones who really want into upper division do take it seriously and do keep their grades up.

I wouldn’t turn USC down just because of its “party reputation”. Imo, that’s really just not that important when you have a campus of 20,000 undergrads. I have an extremely active social life and a great group of friends. With that being said, I have yet to drink any alcohol or do any drugs. (Those are both things I’m not interested in.) I also have only been to a few “college parties” during my entire time here and I’ve only been to Five Points at night on a weekend 3-4 times during my entire time here. (I didn’t even go to bars. I went to Cook-Out and walked to someone’s house.) I also have maintained a fairly high GPA making President’s or Dean’s List every semester. The party scene doesn’t take over the campus. It’s definitely there if you want it and not if you don’t.

If your daughter isn’t interested in the party scene, then she can avoid it quite easily. In addition to that, she’ll probably meet a lot of other nursing majors in her classes who will have the same philosophy when it comes to school work.

I have several friends who just got accepted to upper division. They’ve worked hard and have taken school seriously.
