Hii! As I’m considering going to USC this fall, I was wondering what social life is like there. I am international student from Latin America planning on studying business. I want to go Greek and be very involved in campus life. Thankss 
I would suggest taking a look at the Niche College Rankings… comparing USC and other colleges and universities using some of their rankings, metrics and measurements. The Niche Rankings and Grades are mainly based on survey results from past and current students and faculty, and they delve into a number of areas that really highlight the topics that will most impact you once there as an actual student on campus.
For those curious… USC ranks #19 overall on the Niche College Rankings and its grades are: A+ for its Overall Niche Grade… and then by category: Academics A+, Value A+, Diversity A+, Campus A+, Athletics A+, Party Scene A+, Professors A+, Location B+, Dorms A-, Campus Food A-, Student Life A+, Safety B.
And here is likely the best indicator… USC is ranked #1 out of 1579 colleges and universities surveyed in terms of “Best Student Life” overall. If you can have that… a quality student life experience… and not suffer any limitations in terms of offerings or opportunities and still attend an academically elite private university, why really look anywhere else…?
Of course, USC - like any college or university - needs to make sense financially for the family making the decision. But, if affordable, I highly recommend USC. In our family’s case, the financial aid offerings made it so… so we remain extremely grateful to USC for that.
Good Luck…
Somewhat hidden in the above post is that USC received an “A+” rating for its “party scene”.
^^^ Yes… and that clearly contributes to its #1 rating in Best Student Life. But USC is large enough and diverse enough for each individual student to craft their own version of a college experience. For many, that includes Greek life and its party scene. For others, the diversity of other options and experiences are more important. USC can be what you individually choose to make it.
It can be as crazy as you want it to be. I’m a bit of a dud, but I’ve seen some crazy stuff. Before I transferred to USC, I followed a fellow Trojan (and a fellow member of the LGBT community) on Twitter and he posted an insane video from outside a USC party. It was really so wild that I think I’d get in trouble if I described what I saw, lol. I’m not really much of a party person though. I remember going on a little field trip with my Spanish III class to eat tacos in Downtown and I had initially wanted to hang around with some of my classmates after the rest of the class went back to campus, but when I found out they were going to a bar (some of them were freshmen), I decided to bail and get cupcakes from Sprinkles instead (this was before they had the Sprinkles ATM on campus). If you want to have an active social life (possibly involving partying), you can definitely do that. If you don’t, then there’s plenty of other stuff to do. Lots of students are able to balance intense partying and intense studying. I was never much of party guy though.
