<p>I'm staying at Pardee and I was wondering if we have to bring our own phones to the dorms or will that be provided</p>
<p>Just bring a cell phone, a land line isn't necessary.</p>
<p>According to the stuff USC puts out, a land line is provided and we have to bring our own phone.</p>
<p>cells phones really is the best option...IMO</p>
<p>their very affordable in SoCal more so than a reg. phone in most situations</p>
<p>Bring a regular phone and answering machine, because you can receive incoming calls from anyone (each room has its own phone number). USC only provides local phone service, and one of the orientation people said that it would be ridiculous to not have a cell phone for long distance.</p>
<p>I soley use a cell phone.</p>
<p>Plus, if you use the land line you have to use this long, hard to remember calling code thing anyways for long distance. I agree that cell phones are really all you need. I never really used the land line we had.</p>
<p>Also is anyone bringing a printer to their dorm or do the university library have them</p>
<p>^I was also wondering about the printer.</p>
<p>At orientation they said you have to pay for printing and copying in the library. I'm planning to bring my own printer just for the sheer convenience of being able to write a paper at 3 am and printing it out in my room rather than going to the library.</p>
<p>I def. had my own printer. It would be a hassle to try to go to the library all the time. Plus the library computers are almost always full.</p>
