I managed to get two degrees from USC, live in the "bad area" for four years, and commute in for two, and never feel in danger.

USC is a wonderful school with great history. The school and the community at large are working hard on making the area a safer place. THere is a lot of development downtown that is creating great opportunities for living for students and young professionals. I wouldn't hesitate to send my children there.

To the OP, I posted my rush story in recruitment stories, granted, it is a decade old. PM me if you have any questions!

USC also has one of, if not the largest university police forces in the nation.

southernbelleQT, the very best recruitment thread for USC was deleted by the original poster. It is every bit as competitive as an SEC recruitment - have the recs, the right look, the right sparkle, and the right attitude. You could probably read any of the SEC rush threads, and get a good idea about what to expect.

While it has similarities to the SEC, USC will be different in some ways. For instance, dress will be different. Not many Lilly P. dresses worn in Calif...I had no idea what they were until some gals on here started posting links and photos. In general, Calif. tends to dress on the trendy side (designer jeans and heels) instead of floral sundresses with pearls. Pearls might come out at preference, but not much before then. Dress classy, but with a fun or funky twist...if that makes sense.

I'd never heard of Lily P either til I saw it here!

No, honeychile is talking about Southern California. She said it is as competitive as an SEC school. South Carolina is an SEC school. I think the point she was trying to make was like SEC schools, it is more important to have recs at Southern California than at other West Coast schools.

USC=Southern California. When you hear analysts on ESPN talking about "USC" there is no question in anyone's mind which USC they mean. Trojans.

Oh, you'd be just as happy in the ridiculously expensive jeans we So Cal girls are addicted to! It's all about the sunglasses, the bag and the bling!

[southernbelleQT]

my entire family went to school in the SEC so i have a good idea of what that is.

what can i say, ima rebel haha

imo, schools in cali, NY, etc are more fashion THINK they are being avant garde by wearing a blue Lily dress instead of a pink one. personally I love Lily so its just whatever floats your boat!
