    USC is a place with great social atmosphere and school spirit. People here are very open to new experiences and accepting of people's unique qualities. Not to mention the ABUNDANCE of activities, opportunities, and resources for anyone with spare time.

    While researching this school, they have been nothing but helpful! They always answer questions personally, and don't immediately refer you to a useless link. This is my dream school!
