<p>i heard from a friend who goes to USC that the school only guarantees housing until your junior year...is that true.
how hard is it to find off-campus housing?</p>
<p>freshman and sophomore year are guaranteed provided you fill out the online “paperwork” on time</p>
<p>you can still get university housing jr/sr years through the lottery process, but chances are you won’t really have a good selection to pick from.</p>
<p>the entire area bounded by jefferson/vermont/fig/adams is mostly non-university student housing. it’s pretty easy to find a place, although beware of shady landlords.</p>
