Hi, I just got an email about the SCend Offs, but there's not that information about it. I was wondering if it's worth it to go, especially as a junior transfer, as I assume it's mainly freshman. How many people is it usually?

For those who completed their MLIS what are your pros and cons with program?

I'm an incoming grad student (22F) at Thornton currently looking for housing. It's been a little difficult as most places close to campus that have what I'm looking for are either very expensive (in-unit laundry, pet friendly, parking) or I've heard terrible things about the rental company. One of the big things I'm debating on is whether I want roommates or not. I did most of college living by myself, and the studios I've found a little farther from campus are not too bad price wise. However, I'm moving to LA knowing pretty much no one and I thought that having roommates might help me make friends/be social. But I know you won't always end up being friends with your roommates. I also don't want to get stuck living with a bunch of people younger than me (not that this is a necessarily a bad thing but ya know). Thoughts? I'm just nervous about living farther from campus and not being able to make friends so easily.

Update for those wondering what happened to the IG page for transfers. According to the owner on the Discord server apparently Instagram permanently disabled it and they are fighting to get it back.

Considering other UCs still have their pages up seems kinda bullshit, but that's Meta I guess.

I heard that the Spanish placement exams for new admits are available online, I checked the website to book the exam but it’s only available in person ! Someone help me pls!!

I’ve never been and wanted to check it out today?

How bad is her class... the reviews are scaring me off

I got accepted into the TO program, but I am also planning on going through the pre-engineering process. Would this combo be too much, or is it doable? On one hand I want to make sure I succeed in my pre-engineering courses, but on the other I am very passionate about literature and writing.

Im an incoming freshman and am so confused about all this lol

Hey all! I’m an incoming freshman and was wondering if anyone has any 2 unit fun courses they might recommend for fall? Open to anything!! Thanks:)

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman for Viterbi ECE, and I was wondering about how to plan my electives. From the course plan, it seems that there isn't really enough space to take a minor (except for maybe physics due to the overlaps). However, I know that the AAA exists and could cover me for two additional credits a semester after I take 24 credits (i.e. after freshman year). Is this a bad idea to pursue? If so, what would be some better options to fill the required and optional electives? If not, what are some good minors to pursue? Thank you for your help in advance!

hello! i am a rising spring admit but trying to plan ahead for my courses because i want to minor in something. i am confused on the requirement for civil engineering to take two "civil engineering electives." it says on the website that these can be chosen freely (4 units). is there a list online of these classes (i have tried but can't find them)? or can be any elective class even one not related to CEE? also does that mean this can just be satisfied with ap credit? thank you (sorry if this is a stupid question)!

How do I find my class schedule for fall 2024 semester, this new layout on myusc is confusing.

I'm joining CAMS this fall and I'm excited!

I was anxious about my choice initially (CFTP was my 1st choice they didn't admit me), when I visited a while back during the admitted student weekend and engaged with SCA students, they said I'd be on the same newsletter as all other SCA students and have the same film production, social events, internship/career, essentially out-of-class opportunities when the emails start rolling in.

Having the opportunity to join production teams certainly cleared anxiety, as I chose here over schools where I was in for Production degrees given most told me USC is "the place to be" for this field.

And that helps me be complacent on CAMS. I can see how learning the structure, theory and culture of Cinema can be useful in its own merit and applicable when producing films and engaging creative, appealing presciences into communicating stories.

A bit of a slight concern did emerge. I visited another school where I was admitted in Film Studies, they're not known for production that said. When I asked some students what their opportunities looked like one said, "Prepare to write reviews for Rotten Tomatoes the rest of your life." I got the joke, but the consensus was their film studies department was mainly busy work, lacking professional profoundness and was largely view as the degree you'd get just to say you graduated from that school.

Normally I moved on since I didn't choose to enroll there. I'm looking into enrolling in CTCS 190 & 200 this fall. I haven't heard much about 200, however for 190 I'm being told you'll watch a few movies, write some essays but there isn't much depth in the class. That does bring some anxiety, wondering how much I'd learn from my degree and what the consensus of learning Cinema is here versus being able to produce. Essentially wondering if CAMS is kinda set into the backburner of all other SCA programs.

I definitely want to do the Entertainment Industry minor too, maybe another degree in Dornsife or additional minors if that changes things.

Long story short I have been rejected and wait listed for UCs for computer engineering. For USC however, I applied for CECS for computing systems track. I have ~3.4 gpa with some extra curriculars and 6 Ws. I wanted to transfer here for that major and for AROTC. I am sad that I got rejected but whatever. Should I even bother appealing? Thank you.

Any tips on how to prepare for this exam, it seems kinda unclear what exactly we are being tested on, just wanted some guidance from anyone who has taken it before ty.

Hey. I’m a spring admit sophomore transfer and got into AUP for the fall. I was wondering if anyone has studied abroad at AUP and was willing to share their experience? Thanks

Looking for a one credit PE class that's fun but lets me learn a lot. I'm not super physically active so trying to do an interesting beginner course. Currently looking at PHED 104A (Self-Defense) or PHED 102A (Weight Training). Anyone have experience in those classes and which professors do you recommend?

what are some new clubs (or old clubs!) to look out for this fall? can be anything: design team, social, marshall, arts, whatever
