Coral Gables is like half an hour outside of the actual city of Miami/Southbeach. Do people still go or pretty much everything on campus?

People will definitely take the time to travel to South Beach if they feel strongly about the party culture there. However, there are enough activities (both late-night and daytime) near campus that if you don't want to go so far, you won't be bored.

haha people definitely travel. Campus is a hub for action 4 days of the week. The other 3 people go on trips everywhere for competitions, interviews, parties, side-job stuff, etc. 96% of social activity/action at night takes place OFF CAMPUS and FAR away. Having said that I have rarely felt bored on the weekends- there is an outdoor pool (lap pool, diving board, music, etc) and patio, a world class fitness wellness center,etc.

its not an hour its like 25 minutes

Would being Jewish be an issue here? I'm from the north and sometimes I hear the south gets a bit of a bad rap for being somewhat antisemitic. I'm not a hardcore Jew by any means (equivalent of a Christmas/Easter christian.) It looks like an awesome school, just want to make sure.

People at usc are nice. Everyone respects others religious beliefs. Im catholic which there arent many of catholics in the south. If someone is rude, the average person will stick up for the person being picked on.

Thanks a lot, I didn't think it would be a problem but it's nice to hear confirmation.

There is definitely a lot of religious Christians here so if you feel uncomfortable with prayers at the football games and such then maybe it's not the school for you. I don't think anyone mistreat you because of your religious background though. I have a few professors who are Jewish, and as far as I know they like it here.

USC is very diverse with students with all kinds of religious beliefs and backgrounds.

What if the person is an atheist?

Even if your an athiest, no one will care to be honest. You will still be respected. Im pretty sure that the only people who would get messed with are people in the westboro baptist cult. If yoh dont know who they are look them up.
