<p>Thank you Hayden for that nice thought, but right now I would just settle for T getting a paying job that has health insurance.</p>
<p>tsdad, I think that's every parent's dream!</p>
<p>Actually, in terms of credits, S will be a rising junior because he entered USC with 32 AP credits. It means he gets to register earlier but still will take at least 4 years to get an engineering degree. If he wanted a degree in say economics or history, he could be out in 3 years but he thinks engineering is the right school for him.
We're delighted at how well S is and it has made USC D's 1st choice as well. She may enter as a transfer student, once we optimize her health (she also has chronic health issues, <sigh>).</sigh></p>
<p>tsdad: why did they take kitty litter to the protest?</p>
<p>tsdad, I got your pm, but it looks like you may be forced to answer this recurring question re: kitty litter (LOL). That is so funny - a bunch of totally idealistic kids, with that refined touch of practicality. Solution-driven students.</p>
<p>tsdad- wow, four years already. Congrats to your son.</p>
<p>hey im a student whos looking at usc and im wondering how does the fact that USC is in downtown LA affect the safety, etc of the school?</p>
<p>This issue has been beaten to death. I suggest that you go over to the USC Forum and search the old threads.</p>
<p>tsdad,
Just got around to seeing this. Congratulations on the son's graduation. USC graduation is always perfect.
LA</p>
<p>Thank you. Is your graduation coming up this year or next?</p>
<p>Indeed the graduation was perfect. The weather was great. The campus immaculate. Everything was well planned.</p>
<p>One more year. :)
LA</p>
<p>tsdad ~ I'm late with congratulations, but hopefully better late than never. Your advice, particularly for me to attend the parent day in the first year, was invaluable. My son is in the same boat as HIMom's - he has finished the first year of engineering and had 32 units built up from pre-college days, and so will only need three more years...somehow that seems wrong, but in engineering it just happens.</p>
<p>The first year was great for DS. Now I'm looking forward to graduation, since you enjoyed it so much. Even though I'm an alumnus, I've never been to one, since I was off at grad school when mine came and went.</p>
<p>Reasonable:</p>
<p>Thanks. These are the days I wish he had been an engineering major rather than film.</p>
<p>Dear tsdad, Congats on your college graduate son. Now I want to express my hope that you won't graduate from CC as he moves on. I can't tell you how many times the information and insight you'[ve offered here has benefitted our family. Thanks again.</p>
<p>TSDad: Time does fly - hard to believe your son has graduated USC. I've followed your posts partly because I have two D's who have graduated USC and one D who is still in grad school there. Best wishes to your son!</p>
<p>Thank you all very much for your kind words.</p>
<p>We sent our son off to Europe for 10 days (using mostly Marriott points) right after graduation. It was pay back because we didn't by him that pony he wanted when he was younger. (Joke.)</p>
<p>I am amazed, and pleasantly surprised, that he is dealing with Salle Mae to figure out the best way to pay back his loans. Now he needs to get a job. One of the contributors on this site has been very helpful in supplying my son with some names and passing around his resume.</p>
<p>Thanks unamed contributor.</p>
<p>hello, can you tell me how the academics are at USC. Are the professors good? Are the classes overcrowded? Do the teachers care about the subjects they teach or are they terrible and talk on and on about nothing? </p>
<p>Thank YOU.</p>
