College Prowler Take

People tend to be healthy and happy in Southern California, and these simple character traits work wonders for a person’s attractiveness. Aside from this, girls are downright beautiful, well dressed, and well spoken, and the guys tend to be tall and in strong physical condition. Gym demographics are a sure sign of what sort of look people are after. Guys are always hard at work in the weight room, while girls sweat out calories on the elliptical machines, treadmills, and StairMasters.

Guys and girls get along at USC, but they seem to have come here to have fun, not to fall in love. Like LA, USC has faces that you want to love, but how can you decide on which one to fall for? There is a superficial element to interactions between guys and girls that keeps people from letting their emotional defenses down, but that is to be expected. In USC’s defense, there are beautiful people here who don’t fit the stereotypes, as well as average-looking people who lead regular lives and enjoy their place in the sun. There is a great sense of outgoingness, as well, which allows everyone—from beautiful to not-so-beautiful—to have a good time, whether it's with friendships or French kisses.

It’s LA, so looks are everything to a lot of people. A lot of people live off of their rich parents and are kind of shallow, but then again, there are a lot of great people, too. It’s a culture shock to move to LA, but it’s great once you adjust.

The girls are super-hot here. I, truthfully, see some of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. The guys are good looking, too. The people at USC are, overall, good-looking. It’s a semi-rich school, so a decent amount of people who go here keep their looks up very well.

I will say that the guys at USC are mostly hot, especially the frat guys. Guys at USC are pretty arrogant, though. Just warning you. The girls are all pretty hot, too. It’s common knowledge that a girl from USC will be in demand at any other campus in the nation but could have a hard time finding a guy at USC. It’s mostly because everybody’s cute and smart. There’s a lot of eye candy here.

Facts

Birth Control Available?

Yes - Free condoms are available in the Resource Room. The birth control shot and emergency contraception are available for a fee.

Social Scene

USC is filled with social niches. The Greek system is the most outspoken and seemingly predominant social scene. Initially, most freshmen socialize with classmates and people in their housing complex. After the first few weeks of school, people tend to meet at parties on 28th Street (the Row) and other more relaxed settings. Greek students tend to stick together, mostly with the people in their own houses, but any outgoing, confident student will get along just fine with everyone.

Hookups or Relationships?

It is hard to maintain a stable relationship at USC. This seems to be a combined issue of vanity and bad timing. Many students have accepted the fact that people come to California in search of beautiful weather and beautiful people. There are exceptions to this, of course, but true love may be a little harder to find at USC than other colleges. Like a microcosm of greater Los Angeles, USC singles have a hard time finding lasting relationships due to the plasticity of the region.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

If you’re looking for something temporary, go to the 9-0 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the Row on Thursdays, and house parties and residence halls on weekends. If you are looking for commitment, sobriety is necessary.

Dress Code

The dress code on campus is casual. Rainbow sandals, cargo and board shorts, T-shirts, and sunglasses are the fraternity standard when the sun is shining. Sorority girls tend to go to class in velour and terrycloth outfits. Non-Greek students dress in any number of styles to complement the warm weather. Everyone looks the part when it's time to go out.
