Student orgs. Research opportunities. Club sports. Welcome back concerts. Sororities. Fraternities. Football season tickets. Beach outings. Seth Meyers comedy show. USC has it all. And if you’re anything like me, you’re going to want to do it all, believe me! But it’s all about finding what excites you most; that’s what’s going to drive you and make you become the …
When I tell people outside of Viterbi that I am an engineer, I get everything from surprise to respect. Wow, you’re an engineer?? Why don’t you choose an easy major and enjoy your 4 years of college? However, my past 4 years here have proven that being a woman in Viterbi is no big deal while also being a HUGE …
I remember applying to so many different universities my senior year in high school, and they mostly followed a few trends – a large university with many opportunities located in a city. As acceptances rolled in, I had to make a huge decision. In the end, I decided on USC, but what about USC sealed the deal for me?
Although I’ve been in LA for just shy of 4 years at this point, the iconic LA sights never bore me. Something you have to check out when you are in LA is the Hollywood Sign Hike! I just went this past weekend with SWE, and it was such a blast.
Hey all! During my freshman year, I lived on the south side of campus in Parkside Arts and Humanities. This dorm is suite style, so there are 4 double rooms and 2 bathrooms that you share amongst the 8 girls. Although it was called Arts and Humanities, you could live in it regardless of your major. I lived on the …
Once a month, every second Tuesday of the month, many of the artists that have studios downtown open up their studios and have all of their artwork on display for the public.
Happy National E-Week everyone!! E-Week is celebrated very strongly here at Viterbi; there are 11 events going on this week for undergraduate engineering students to participate in! The Kick Off Carnival was so awesome; there was a photo booth, a Sony booth with some Sony swag, a Rubix cube booth, and FREE Sprinkles cupcakes, to name a few.
Last weekend was so much fun! I spent the day downtown with some friends and visited places I’ve never been before. I started off the day doing a tour of the Downtown Historic District from the LA Conservancy, then ate lunch at Grand Central Market, stopped for some coffee at Syrup, and then checked out The Last Bookstore. All of …
“What is the most common job title for an ISE?” One of the part time USC faculty that is a full-time Industrial Engineer at Disneyland always quizzes people. “Boss,” he says.
Hey everyone! This semester I have a bit more free time which I’m using to explore the LA area, hang out with friends, and make the most of my last semester at USC. One example is going line dancing about a week ago with some friends!
Hey everyone! I am so excited to be back at SC for my last semester! Winter break was super refreshing, I spent it at home in New Jersey. We had plenty of snow and FREEZING temperatures during the “polar vortex” and I’ll just say that it’s never been better to be back in lovely and sunny SoCal!
Hey guys! This has been one of the craziest semesters, and I can’t believe that it is already the last week of class! The busy-ness of the semester definitely kept me occupied and made it fly by. After reflecting upon it, I have come up of a countdown of my top 10 memories of this semester.
I had such a fun time these past two weekends! Last weekend I went with a friend to the Navy ROTC Birthday Ball, and this past weekend I went to Chicago for a final round interview, and while I was there, I spent some time with my brother and his girlfriend, who live and work there full time. Luckily, while …
In my past 3 years at USC, I have had the opportunity to explore all throughout LA and see so many different places! LA is truly an amazing place, and you can get it all – whether it be a Saturday at the beach, a morning hike in the Santa Monica Mountains, shopping at The Grove, or just being a …
As a part of the USC Program Board Special Events Committee, I helped out with an event this past Saturday called the Extreme USC Challenge. It was an awesome competition with 10 different teams of 4 players, performing crazy stunts and challenges in order to win gift cards, Google headphones, music festival tickets, flight vouchers, and the grand prize of …
Hey everyone!! Since I am in my fourth year at USC, I have done my fair share of studying both on and around campus. Each semester, I have my favorite spots that are my “go-to” study spots. Generally, what I look for in a study spot is 1) quietness, since I do much better with no distractions, 2) comfyness, since …
Hey everyone! Just this past week my good friend from freshman year had her senior flute recital. She was one of my suitemates in Parkside, and we have kept up over the past couple of years. Each year, she has recitals to show off all that she has been working on for the past several months. She always amazes me …

Some of these boards are: Special Events, Concerts, Trojan Pride, Performing …
Hey everyone! One of my favorite classes this semester is in the ITP (Information Technology Program) department. It is called Engineering Database Applications, and we are learning how to make a dynamic website for a nonprofit client that services children. I think this class perfectly exemplifies the spirit and culture of USC. The spirit of being a ‘good neighbor’ is …
Hey everyone! Last weekend was the Catholic Center Alumni BBQ. All of the alumni from the Center were invited back to campus the day of the home game against Utah State.
