Would I fit in?

Hi, I am hoping to transfer to USC my sophomore year. However, based on videos and posts I have seen, the school seems like a party and rich people dominated school. If it is it’s fine by me, because I know it has great academic programs; but I also want to have a social life. So I was wondering if I would fit in.

A BIT ABOUT ME:
I’m an asian guy from norcal (bay area). I came from a really diverse school where the typical minorities in the US are majorities. I come from a middle class family. I am open-minded. I can be shy at first, but once I get comfortable I’ll be at lot more outgoing. I’m not the stereotypical “asian.” I’m not into the whole anime stuff, or k-pop stuff. I am however not a huge partier, but once in a while I can go for it. Academics is really important to me, and meeting new people is a goal of mine for college. I enjoy, exploration and outdoor stuff like swimming. I somewhat enjoy watching sports, but I suck at playing them haha (except track). I like to go to keep in shape. In a way I’m a bit “white-washed.” I’m a bit nerdy, but I’m not a huge reader. However, I am addicted to news articles, news in general, and cool documentaries. Appearance isn’t everything, but I do like to look presentable; I like clothes, but hate shopping. I guess I am a bit of everything, so I usually don’t fall into one specific group of people.

COUPLE QUESTIONS:
Are the people at USC friendly and not snobby as most people portray them as?
Are the people there open-minded and don’t only keep themselves in a group (like the stereotypical rich white kids- sorry if this offended anyone.)
Also if anyone is or was a transfer and have any tips or suggestions please let me know. Or anyone else with advise about USC.

Thanks for the help, sorry that the post is long. I really hope I get to become a trojan next year! Fight on!
