<p>Hey guys, i'm a student living in Beijing (asian of course) and is now accepted into USC. I had so many older students telling me to take as many easy classes as possible in my first year to rack up the GPA. I don't really need anyone's opinion on whether its a good idea or not but i want to know if you guys can give me a list of the easiest classes in USC. Another thing is that which dorms are the best? i'm a little confused with the terminology of housing but basically the ones where parties are great, the guys and girls are cool and its a spacious room to live in. Thanks so much for reading and i hope you can give me the best answers for these questions</p>
<p>Whether you take it in Freshman year or any other year, it doesn’t seem like it would make a difference to your final 4 year gpa… You’d just be loading all the harder classes later.</p>
<p>Unless you’re talking about GE’s, it’s not that useful to know what the easiest classes are if they don’t fall in your major. I can’t really help you with GE’s since I’m in Thematic Option, but from my friends’ experiences, some GE’s can be pretty tough.</p>
<p>There are actually a lot of threads about which dorms are the best and will address your concerns. Just do a search for them and you’ll find out a lot of information. But generally, north side dorms are more social since they’re dorm-styled (so that includes Birnkrant, which is an honors dorm now but has always housed the majority of scholarship recipients, and New/North). Pardee and Marks Tower are in between those and Marks Hall/Trojan Hall in terms of sociability, I’d say. Parkside and Fluor are both suite-styled so residents there tend to know their suitemates more than their entire floors. Not many parties there. </p>
<p>I haven’t found that USC kids party very much in dorms. It happens, but when you’ve got the row being right there and Greek life a pretty big part of campus, much of the partying is done there.</p>
