    I have written about this topic before, but I want to give another perspective on my housing experience now that I am a senior and am soon leaving USC. First off, watch the video below if you are unfamiliar with USC Housing… Basically there are three types of housing at USC: dorm, suite, and apartment. Hopefully watching the video gives you a better idea of the three styles… The other...

    Freshman year was an exciting whirlwind, and I have my roomie, suitemates, neighbors, and friends from Parkside International Residential College (IRC) to thank for all the crazy good times I had. As an international student, Parkside IRC seemed fitting. Although I was the only international student among my 8 suitemates, there were a good number of other international students throughout the building who I came to know and grow close...

    One of the most common questions that admitted students is “Whats the best dorm on campus and where should I live?”  As you’ll see throughout many of the housing blogs, just about every student will argue that their dorm was best.  One thing I really liked about USC Housing was that there were a variety of options for freshman (you can choose to live in a dorm, suite or apartment)...

    Coincidentally enough, I was on the same floor as Lauren my freshman year in Pardee, and since I put that I liked outdoor activities on my application, I got into the Great Outdoors Floor – the Pardee Penthouse! Honestly, I didn’t really care where I was put, but I really loved the big huge desk in front of the huge window that had a great view of LA. I went...

    As a senior, it seems like so long ago that I moved into USC as a freshman. However, the memories that I made living in Birnkrant Residence Hall freshman year will always stay with me. I consider Birnkrant, especially the “triple” rooms, THE place to live on campus. The triples have two rooms – with the desks and couch/tv/etc. in one room and beds and closets in the other –...

    Coming to USC, it was really hard to decide in which dorm I wanted to live. I knew that I wanted balance in my life: somewhere that I could socialize with others but at the same time get work done whenever I needed to. Luckily, I got to live on the first floor of Pardee Tower. Within Pardee, the floors alternate between all boy floors and girl floors where 40...

    One of the most stressful things about freshman year can be figuring out where you are going to live, and who you are going to live with.  During my freshman year, I lived at Arts & Humanities Residential College.  When looking at the different housing options online during my senior year of high school, I wanted to find a place that was quiet and close to my classes, as well...

      Freshman housing at USC is unbeatable. All of my hall mates became my closest friends throughout my freshman year. We ate together at EVK (shout out waffles, froyo machine, outside grill, Chicken Nugget Tuesday), went on midnight snack runs to Tro Gro (shout out Trojan Plan), and there was always someone there to distract you from boredom. Though our RA (Resident Advisor) planned some activities for us like dinner...

    Freshmen year I lived in Birnkrant Residence Hall, and in my opinion, it’s definitely the best dorm on campus! Birnkrant (or BK lounge as I liked to call it) has traditional style coed dorms with common bathrooms on each floor. The majority of rooms are doubles, but there are also singles and triples that offer even more space and storage than the average double dorm room. I lived in one...

    While I currently live in an apartment, last year I lived in on-campus dormitory housing as most freshmen do. Although I didn’t know anything concrete about any of the dorms, I had heard that Birnkrant Hall was a cool place, so I decided to apply for Birnkrant housing. It was one of the best decisions I made during my transition to USC. Everyone in Birnkrant was great, and it seemed to...
