USC too much of a party school?

<p>alrighty here's the thing: i think USC is the perfect fit for me academic wise and i love california. however, i've never visited campus (i plan on doing so in the near future) and i get the feeling the student body is very centered around greek life, heavy partying, and lot's of drinking.</p>

<p>now don't get me wrong, i'm extremely outgoing and i love to have fun, but i would HATE to be stuck in a school that resembles animal house, and frankly that's the kind of vibe i sometimes get from USC.</p>

<p>can any current student tell me if this is true? how's diversity? i appreciate your help and hopefully i'll be able to see some new light since other than this, the school is pretty much perfect. thanks a lot!</p>

<p>While the Greek scene is huge at USC, the social scene is what you make of it.</p>

<p>Every school has its hardcore partiers, but you don't have to put yourselves around them.</p>

<p>In my mind, USC offers the best of both worlds: great academics and rocken social scene.</p>

<p>since beer=fun...your statement does not compute</p>

<p>jk. I always say not to knock fraternity life till you get the chance.</p>

<p>One of the things I never saw myself doing was joining a frat, and then I did and love it. Not everyone in a frat drinks. Its more about good times, deep conversations, and having a social network you can rely on (as well as an activity looked upon positively on the resume)</p>

<p>but anyways, hopefully your visit will clear things up for you</p>
