College Prowler Take

Students from Southern California usually love USC from the beginning and strengthen their bonds with the school as time passes. Students who travel to USC from longer distances tend to adapt more slowly, dealing at first with the culture shock that inevitably comes with a first impression of LA. Universally, those who can survive the transition into the USC way of life fall in love with the school after first semester. Typically, students entering school with a skeptical mind-set ends up getting the most pride out of being a Trojan. At the very least, they come away with a new affinity toward college football.

The opportunities on campus are plentiful, and in LA, opportunities are endless. Time flies for everyone at USC, and changes in living conditions, academic standards, and career goals come quicker than newcomers might expect. USC graduates are sure to look back on a college experience that could not have been offered anywhere else. Basically, the more that students are willing to explore the opportunities available to them, the more they endorse the idea that USC is the perfect school for its time and place.

I love USC! I have never been happier. The first few weeks were a little hard, but everyone that is a freshman feels the same way. It’s helpful to get involved with study groups in order to meet people in the beginning. Go out when there is a big party on the Row to meet people. Smile to people and say ‘hi.’

I really wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The only thing that I really hate is the fact the USC is in the middle of the ghetto, South Central Los Angeles. However, the campus by itself is really beautiful. It’s been fun for me.

If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely choose USC. I love it. It’s the perfect school. The people there know how important it is to study and get the grades, but they also know how to party and have an amazing time.

If you want to network and make some important friends for future references, USC is one of the best at that. The alumni ‘Trojan Family’ that the school speaks of is not a joke, people will truly hook you up if you graduate from USC.
