Tell us a bit about yourself

I am from a small town with a population of 7,000, so moving to LA has been a complete 180 for me.  But, I could not be happier with my decision to attend USC as I know that my horizons will continue to expand here.

Why USC?

When I was applying to college, I knew that I wanted a large school with a big football team and warm weather. So, naturally, I searched in California. USC was the one school that satisfied and exceeded my wishlist.

How have you enjoyed USC so far?

Now that I have completed my first semester here, I am just as giddy and in awe as my first time here. USC truly has the most fun, yet intellectual and academically focused student body. Every day I meet a new person who inspires me. USC as a university does a lot to ensure that students are able to succeed and spark their curiosity .
