University of Southern California Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 4,045 reviews
I loved campus life and the academics are amazing! I didn’t get out as much so I can’t tell you much about party life or life outside of the university. However, I didn’t think I needed to because there is so much to do on campus! So much food and places for you to go to, I love the campus so much. Go to USC you won’t regret it. Also, the connections you will make, even in your first year, are amazing, trust me!
I like the diverse, really friendly community, thoughtful curriculum, experienced teachers, and good campus life. I feel that the community is supportive and that I have many avenues to learn, change and grow here. The people are really nice!
What I would like to see changed is a better work environment for the students and staff, more mediated spaces for discussions on difficult topics, and a better-organized structure for knowing what opportunities I have to contribute to the community or make the most of my educational experience.

My experience at the University of Southern California was transformative. The vibrant campus culture, diverse community, and rigorous academic environment fostered both personal and intellectual growth. Professors were engaging and supportive, providing valuable mentorship. USC's vast array of extracurricular activities enriched my college experience, from cultural clubs to research opportunities. However, I believe there's room for improvement in terms of affordability and accessibility of resources, ensuring every student can fully engage in the USC experience. Overall, USC provided me with unforgettable memories and equipped me with the skills needed for success beyond graduation
