What is unique about USC? Why did YOU choose it?

<p>Basically wondering what made u choose over USC over other schools (or not).</p>

<p>bump bump bumppp</p>

<p>Initially my daughter chose it because it has a highly ranked 5 year Bachelors/Masters Occupational Therapy program. Beyond that, I’m not entirely certain, although I know she loves the football spirit and the whole Trojan family concept. USC was her first choice a year ago. I have a feeling because it’s so out of reach financially, she’s kept it on the back burner. It didn’t keep her from applying and being accepted, though. :)</p>

<p>yeah i think i like both of those concepts too but im not entirely sure. however it probably brings everyone together and makes them friends so i hope i get in!!</p>

<p>USC was the only non-liberal-arts school I applied to. =P The School of Cinematic Arts is the best in the country and their Interactive Media program is top notch, so I sacrificed some prestige in the English department for a guaranteed job and unrivaled experience at SCA when I picked USC =P Aside from that, though, the whole Trojan Family concept, the job networking, the school spirit, and general atmosphere of USC is really what set it apart.</p>

<p>Generic answer, I know.</p>

<p>Some of my daughter’s reasons two years ago:</p>

<p>Besides the Trustee scholarship which in itself was a huge draw,</p>

<p>The TO honours program, one of the best in the country
The opportunity to partake in research very early on (she started in fall of freshman year)
USC’s policy of encouraging multi disciplinary study…the ability of double majoring or adding minors to the major.
The ease of changing majors if desired
Professors’ availability, and the fact that most classes are taught by profs
Small class size in general
Excellent guidance and advisement if necessary
Very diverse student population with a high percentage of internationals
Internships, job placement
Ease of partaking in study abroad.
Lack of bureaucracy
And school spirit, nice campus, friendly staff</p>
