SCampus Student Guidebook

“SC is now a far cry from that lone frame building in the mustard fields 72 years ago and the growth of Southern Cal has never ceased. Our campus of the future will expand until it is bound by Jefferson, Figueroa, Exposition, and McClintock.” USC SCampus 1952-53

“The University Band plays a prominent part in college festivities, such as games, rallies, etc. Upon declaration of war in April, 1917, the entire band volunteered and were called to the Colors to lead a Los Angeles division of the naval militia. Since that time a new band has been organized.” – USC Student Handbook [...]

Maurice recommends:

• Getting Smart
  Make sure that you go to office hours and the supplemental instruction sections, because those are extremely helpful for the exams. They’re led by the teaching assistants for the different lectures. You have to buckle down and set your sights on trying to seek out all help possible.
• Room and Board
  I live in Marks Hall. I definitely recommend living on campus, because you hear about all the things that are happening so you can get involved. You’re meeting a whole bunch of freshmen every day, especially when you go over to the dining hall, EVK.
• A Streetcar Named Entertainment
  I take USC’s free tram to L.A. LIVE and go watch a movie, hang there or go eat. I like to go hang out there on Fridays — just decompress after my hard weeks of classes. Being in the middle of L.A. is pretty nice, even without a car.
• Getting Your Game On
  I’m a huge football fan. On football Saturdays, I normally get to the game about an hour and a half early. Everyone’s in face paint and going crazy for the game. There’s really a lot of school pride here.
