Marks Tower vs. Parkside Arts & Humanities

<p>Can anyone who is either a student at USC or heading there in the fall and is very familiar with these two housing choices give me the rundown on each? As far as pros and cons? Reputations?</p>

<p>I don't know very much about Marks Tower, and the only pro I can really see at this point is its proximity to everything else. I know more about Parkside - nicer facilities, AC, better food, arts & humanities, etc. - but I also realize it's quite a walk from the center of campus.</p>

<p>If anyone can let me know ASAP, I would really appreciate it. I was put in Marks Tower and I intend to request reassignment, but I'm uncertain on whether Parkside should be my third choice or what. Thanks!</p>
