University of Southern California - Ratings, Reviews & Ranking

" This is genuinely a fantastic school that I would recommend to absolutely anyone. The environment is great and even though I am online, I genuinely appreciate everything that the school does. They really do everything that they can to make sure that everyone feels involved even in an online setting. "

" Pros: Strong alumni network, vibrant social scene, many brilliant students, flexible majors, and great study abroad opportunities. Cons: Extremely high tuition costs, and parts of downtown LA can be unsafe. Overall, the student body at USC is one of the best I've encountered. Everyone who visits notices something special in the atmosphere. I highly recommend visiting the campus if you're considering attending. "

" Challenging school and difficult to get into but the community is social and not too intimidating. As a transfer, it was nervous to make friends but it ended up being super easy. i got involved in so many clubs. It harder for me to communicate with my professors at first and mostly relied on my TAs. Business was saturated but you meet awesome people. great for networking. "

" I can only speak to my experience as a grad student in my specific program (Public Diplomacy). It's an excellent program for folks interested in the field. Faculty are beyond knowledgeable and flexible. USC has great facilities, especially in the Communication and Journalism school. The campus is beautiful and is a proper campus, although it's located in LA proper. While I feel safe on campus, I don't always feel the same outside of campus. However, the school has taken measures (safety ambassadors posted around the perimeter of campus and free Lyft services around campus at night) to counter this reality. I do not regret my decision to attend USC. There are too many opportunities to count available as a student at USC and in the greater LA region. I'm enjoying my time here and don't desire for it to speed up. The school is expensive, though! While I recommend it, I cannot recommend anyone to put themselves in a financially compromised position to attend any school. "

" I highly recommend this institution and program. It was nice being able to choose to complete this program in person or online. The faculty and staff are very helpful and just want you to succeed. I definitely feel like I have grown my network during my time here and am excited to see where that takes me in the future. "
