<p>i think america ferrerra of sisterhood of the traveling pants goes there. good movie!! my fav =)</p>
<p>question.. are dorms separated by levels or coed? i think it depends which ones but im not sure. and if i may happen to get stuck with a bad roommate, is it possible to switch out easily?</p>
<p>is it easy to do undergrad research.. maybe with a professor?</p>
<p>from your own pov, what kind of connections does usc have? for jobs, internships, future opporutnities, etc.</p>
<p>i read in teen people that jesse mccartney wants to go to usc... : ) haha...</p>
<p>Depends where you live. In North, the halls are gender separated. So you've got both guys and girls on the same floor, but on different parts of the floor. Bathrooms are single-sex. Though you are highly discouraged to switch roommates, if it's absolutely impossible and both roommates and your RA approves, it can be done.</p>
<p>Undergrad research is very easy to find here. Starts with getting to know your professors, but that's easy to do at USC because of all the personalized attention you get. You can start research as early as sophomore year.</p>
<p>Two words: TROJAN FAMILY. This means connections for jobs, internships, and future opportunities. The reason is because our alumni loved their time at USC and want to make sure future Trojans have the same experience, so networking here is amazing!</p>
<p>BTW, there's no strict restriction on freshman doing research - just that usually to do research you have to find a prof, find a project, etc. And that's just way too much to usually try to do freshman year on top of everything else.</p>
<p>But some freshman do research, and in fact I would say that undergrad research opportunities are one of USC's strongest advantages over other universities...so take advantage if you're interested.</p>
<p>exactly, depends on how ambitious you want to be and what you want to do outside of attending class.</p>
<p>thanks for the info! ... and omg jesse mccartney is sooo hot =D i hope he goes!! ahhahaha</p>
<p>Does USC have a computer preference? What kind of computer is easier to own/ do most people have?</p>
<p>PC, Mac, anything is fine because if you do need the other one for some reason, Leavey Library and the computer centers on campus have them to use.</p>
<p>Laptops are recommended if you anticipate doing homework on your computer outside of your dorm.</p>
<p>Thanks.<br>
Also, if I go into USC as undecided, but decide that I want to major in smething that is part of Annenberg, Marshall, etc. am I not allowed to switch/transfer? In other words, am I stuck majoring in things outside of those schools?</p>
<p>There are lots of people on both windows and apple. Both are supported and you can't really go wrong because in the case you ever need to run the other the computer labs are well stocked with windows(dell), apple, and sun workstations.</p>
<p>Some people even run linux full-time. Pretty much any computer can connect to the usc network and that's the only criteria for most people.</p>
<p>I don't think there's a problem going from undecided to marshall or annenberg. Somebody else should should confirm but it should be fairly simple.</p>
<p>How about CLAS to another school? I don't plan on switching, but I'm just curious :)</p>
<p>do usc students regard communication as a joke major?</p>

It is possible, except for cinema-tv. You just have to meet an advisor in the school you want to switch to and they'll determine what classes you might need to take add'l, etc.

No, they certainly have their hard share of classes just like the rest of us.</p>
<p>Is anyone currently in the writing for screen and television program?</p>
<p>My roommate is in that major, what do you want to know?</p>
<p>When he heard, how he enjoys it, more specifics, etc.</p>
<p>I'm not sure when she heard, I don't think she's particularly crazy about the program. She has a lot of experience, so she's done what's being covered in class already. Other screenwriters probably have different perspectives on the major based on experience, etc.</p>
<p>has anybody heard of this business cinema program. i know i heard about it somewhere. i don't think it's a major or minor, but from what i can remember, it's something students can sign up for at registration. or am i confusing it with another school?</p>
<p>I believe there is a general entertainment business program through Marshall, and I think that is a minor. Otherwise, CNTV has the Peter Stark program for producing, which is supposed to be excellent and very extensive, but it is graduate.</p>
<p>I wonder, is it possible to take CNTV classes if you're not in that major? I think I am going to declare for creative writing, and I think screenwriting would be a cool and interesting thing to learn about. Does anyone know whether it's possible?</p>
