<p>San Jose area</p>

<p>my d is from Carlsbad, CA...northern San Diego County</p>

<p>fun thread! this is one of USC's attractive features vs UCLA...geographic diversity</p>

67

<p>I guess diversity is a relative term... over 3/4 of USC alumni live in California today, and my guess is that most of them lived in California before, as well.</p>

68

<p>near Boston, MA</p>

69

<p>Just 30 minutes northwest of the ATL, y'all!</p>

<p>California isn't like New Jersey or something, though. It's like a massive state, over half the west coast. On the east coast that would be like 5 or six different states. The population is gigantic. I would consider it geographic diversity even if 1 kid came from LA, one from San Francisco, one from Davis. All from California, but definitely not all "from the same place".</p>

<p>20 minutes from USC. :)</p>

<p>Edit: Is bluebeard still checking this thread? Man, I despise that Evelyn character. Same facial expression, like D:<</p>

<p>What's she like IRL?</p>

74

<p>yeah i'm still here. are you talking to me about Evelyn? i'm kinda lost on this one.</p>

75

<p>but still 3/4 of the entire alumni population (after all, USC is the oldest university in California) coming from a concentration equivalent to five states is pretty skewed, isn't it? Most private universities have a more evenly distributed geographic diversity.</p>

<p>I'm not disagreeing with you in the meat of your comment-- I am quite aware that LA is a different world from Silicon Valley.</p>

76

<p>Only about half of the students at USC are from within CA. The 3/4 is a misleading number since it neglects all the people who are from outside CA who stay here after graduation, for whatever reason </p>

<p>(it makes sense, if you take internships in california while in school, for many people to continue those internships into jobs)</p>

<p>Plus, USC has like the largest population of international students in the US.</p>
