    USC has a reputation as a rich kid/trust fund baby school. If Chu can get financial aid enough to go there without going into hock up to his eyeballs he probably should do it though.

    it's super expensive but it also meets 100% of all demonstrated need.

    so like, i go in poor as fuck, and regardless of whether i have scholarships they might have me do workstudy and take out the limit for federal loans (like, 10,500 for an independent sophomore?)

    but everything else would be a grant

    Also, their mascot is so shitty.

    I mean, even aside from the ololcondom angle, they chose as their mascot the losers of probably the most famous mythical war ever.

    Their mascot is the losing army.

    I have to agree with that part. I don't understand why anyone would want to emulate the Trojans. Famous for losing a siege war at a time when siege wars were almost a sure thing for the defender barring natural disasters or divine intervention.

    that's only for grad school. undergrads (who are independent) it's like 9,500 for freshmen, 10,500 for soph, 12,500 for junior and senior (i think)

    so if i get into usc as a sophomore i'd accrue like 35,500 in debt

    Not just because USC sucks, but it would be super fucking lame if you moved to LA when I am no longer living there.

    nah, the series of wars that the myth of the Trojan war was super-loosely based on was part of the general catastrophe around 1200 BCE where most of the fortified cities of the eastern mediterranean were all sacked and the Bronze Age burned over a very short period of time.

    Pretty much every major site in what is now Greece, Crete, Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, Lebannon (among others) all were destroyed. And Egypt itself only escaped destruction within its borders by fighting a series of massive massive wars on its borders (the proto-Assyrians were the same).

    Attacked by tweeeeeeees!

    i don't know what the internet's talking about 'needing a car'

    i'm looking at USC on google maps and it seems like... super walkable? chinatown 2 miles? downtown less than 5?

    what is the big deal ya mooks

    You will get robbed like all the time, just 24/7

    Also you'll be fine if you like, literally never leave campus. A car in LA is highly recommended.

    well a car is like, 0 chance. no way i'll have the income for that. what i'm thinking of now is- if i get to this school, what are my options for off campus stuff.

    i will carpool with friends to places!

    You can get around in LA without a car if you're living near USC. It does have a decent subway system (for an American city), and there are a lot of busses that run from USC to subway points..

    It will get awkward, though, at times. It's just not a town built around the idea of public transit. There will be times when there's a place you want (or need) to go, and the closest bus line will be a 20m walk followed by a 60m bus ride. Or you'll be looking at apartments, and there will be an apartment that looks convenient on a map, but you'll discover when you go to check it out that it's a 30m longer trip to and from classes than you expected.

    Looking at a map just doesn't really do it justice.

    every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
