Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Since USC provides students with everything they need to manage their lives at college, new students usually don’t think to leave campus until their second semester. Students in the professional schools of Accounting, Business, Communication, and Cinema/Television have the best classroom facilities USC has to offer, while the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences classrooms are simple with desks and a chalkboard.

Varsity athletes have separate facilities for training and dining in Heritage Hall. Everything else on campus is pristine and newly renovated. The parking structures are nice but not big enough to accommodate the amount of cars on campus and they have no security cameras, but DPS patrols regularly.

Beautiful Facilities

USC has beautiful buildings throughout the whole campus. Every building on the campus shows just how much wealth and old prestige this school has. If the building isn't up to par, it is definitely one of the many buildings that is currently being renovated

Brick, Brick, and More Brick.

USC is known for their fancy brick buildings. Most of them are pretty nice and some of them are fairly new. A brand new athletic center is being built right now. The student center has several dining options and is a good place to just hang out. There are tons of activities going on on campus every day and the campus is a beautiful place despite the area around it.

Campus Activities Are Great

USC's organized campus activities are great and very entertaining. Publicity is great so you always know when events are coming up. Concerts and pep rallies are very exciting and well-attended. Aesthetics on the USC campus are very inviting.

Facts

Favorite Things To Do

Favorite activities range from movie screenings to Trojan football games at the Coliseum.

It’s more like, what is there not to do on campus? You will constantly find people working on projects together in classrooms across campus, practicing a music or theater piece, or meeting with one of hundreds of student groups. There are a lot of places to study or work on homework including the many benches and quiet, secluded spots all over campus. There are always a slew of sunbathers out working on their tans, and the Lyon Center is a great place to work out. Sporting events are very big at USC, with some sort of game taking place at least every weekend.

At night, there is always something going on somewhere on campus. McCarthy Quad is a constant site of concerts and other activities organized by the student government. The Cinema School has frequent activities and film festivals, along with several one-time screenings of big movies at the Norris Theater. The School of Theater puts on more than five plays a semester that are performed in theaters scattered around campus. USC is very proud of its Visions & Voices program in which renowned experts in the arts and humanities come to campus to broaden the horizons of students. Whatever you are looking for on campus, USC can accommodate.
