ask a USC student anything 2

<p>mrgorilla, yes, but a lot of people live near the LA area, so they go home on the weekends to do laundry, be with the family etc.</p>

<p>And I'm pretty sure there's no huge difference between New/North, it's better to stay where you are then jeopardize losing the room you currently have :)</p>

<p>what have your experiences been at marshall generally? what do you think of the students, professors, classes, etc? oh, and of course, the curve. thanks.</p>

<p>I got my housing assignment, and I got fluor tower, like I wanted, but they put me in the quiet floor (I think? It said my special interest code was "QUIT")
Now, I.. didn't sign up for this, or fill out anything that would make me look like I LIKE the idea of noise limitations or hours. It naturally sounds like it would be a more "nerdy" floor, but would it make sense to put my name back in the pot in this case?</p>

<p>I was assigned this residence hall (not one of my choices). Is it primarily freshmen or upperclassmen? Will it be easy for a "non-artsy" type (I'm a biology major) to meet people and socialize? How easy is it to mix/meet with freshmen in the other residence halls? Thanks for any help you can give!</p>

<p>A&H is the new dorm on campus so I have absolutely no idea what the population will be like... word on the street is that it is all freshman?</p>

<p>Chrispy, if you are fine with jeopardizing your spot in Fluor go ahead and put your name back in the pot. If Fluor is your #1 choice though, I wouldn't do it.</p>

<p>what have your experiences been at marshall generally? what do you think of the students, professors, classes, etc? oh, and of course, the curve. thanks.</p>

<p>The other thing is that a lot of people do stuff in LA on the weekends. Like go the beach, or go to Hollywood. So people are still doing stuff, but campus tends to be more quiet.</p>

<p>How are the dorms in marks tower? i hear mark's hall and trojan hall is pretty bad, but is marks tower any differnt?</p>

<p>Marks Tower rooms are kinda cramped. Marks Hall and Trojan Hall actually have bigger rooms - I didn't live there, but from what I saw, the rooms themselves aren't bad! I lived in Pardee, and when I went over to visit friends in Marks Tower, I was so glad I switched my housing contract.</p>

<p>can we transfer into the TAP program at usc during sophmore year?</p>

<p>Hi guys! I just watched some TV series about LA and the area around USC looks really dangerous to me.....for current ppl in USC, is it really unsafe to walk around the neighborhood after class?</p>

<p>what tv series were you watching?</p>

<p>It's no more dangerous than any other major city. I live in LA and you just have to be street smart/aware of you surroundings. Don't walk alone, don't go out at 2 in the morning, don't carry anything obviously valuable on you, and don't get comfortable or let our guard down.</p>

<p>confused_junior: I applied during my second semester here. I'm sure you can apply during sophomore year.</p>

<p>VodkaS: It's not as bad as it sounds. Frankly, I've done everything that sjw2011 recommended against (walk alone, go out at 2, carry valuable things, etc) and nothing has happened to me. Of course, you shouldn't follow my example, but I mean, it's not like there's bullets flying around every time you get off campus. Use common sense and you'll be fine.</p>

<p>Oh, by the way, there's Flexcar here, so you can use that as an alternative to walking.</p>

<p>Also depends on how vulnerable you look... I'm 5'1 and a girl, so probably an easier target than some people...</p>

<p>For5aken, did you apply to the TAP program? also, do you know if it's just for current students at USC. because at ucsd they have a 7 year bs/pharmd that's ONLY for students ucsd not transfers. thanks!</p>

<p>I applied the 2nd semester of freshman year and was accepted. I skimmed through the website and it doesn't mention anything about transfers not being able to apply, but you should email the adviser just in case at <a href="mailto:Donac@pharmacy.usc.edu">Donac@pharmacy.usc.edu</a>.</p>

<p>ok thanks!!</p>

<p>So I got the flyer in the mail today on how to order all of the linens and such for my room. How much of it do I realistically need?</p>
