Hey everyone! I hope you are all having a fantastic summer! Mine is off to a great start. I spent the first two weeks of my summer in South Korea with my iPodia class. Cassandra, Steve, Vlad, Gavin, Zach, and Lyssa were also there! I had an unforgettable experience in South Korea. The city we were staying in was beautiful …
So far this summer, I have had the opportunity to do some travel abroad and nearby. I spent the first two weeks of summer in South Korea with the Viterbi iPodia program. This experience was really amazing; part of the class was getting to know students from China, Korea, Israel, and Germany, and it was awesome working with these students …
It seems like just yesterday that I was getting ready to go to the Kansas Cosmosphere to work as a space camp counselor for the summer after my freshman year. Now, I am studying for my last set of undergraduate finals and getting ready for post college life. And, while it is an anxiety ridden time, it is also a very …
Wow! I cannot believe it is already the last week of classes! This semester flew by, and as sad as I am to be halfway finished with my time here at USC, I am ready to move into summer. My classes this semester have been really interesting- especially my separations class (CHE 350). I found all of this really interesting …
I can’t believe this is my last week of undergrad classes. SCenior Year! I still have finals to look forward to, but on the other side of those finals, I’ve got an awesome summer to actually look forward to! Commencement is May 17, then on May 19 I’ll be heading to South Korea with the iPodia Class to finish up …
Let me start by saying how hard it was to leave USC for an entire semester and follow that by saying I’ve never been happier. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to get back to my friends, witty professors, the weather (!!!!) and the consistency of life in LA– but I’m absolutely having the time of my life learning …
This summer, I am going to be studying abroad in London at the USC ACCENT Center right next to the London School of Economics! I just signed up for the two classes I will be taking – the technical writing course that all engineers must take (WRIT340) and engineering economy (ISE460). I have never been outside of North America, …
This past summer I went on a USC Viterbi Summer Abroad Program. I spent two months in Madrid, Spain, and it was one of my favorite experiences at USC thus far. As an engineer, though it is possible to study abroad, I didn’t want to spend an entire semester away from USC. This program is a great compromise to get …
Being a woman in Engineering at USC has been an amazing experience so far! I always knew I would go into some sort of technical field, and high school got me accustomed to taking classes with significantly fewer girls than guys. At USC, I really don’t even notice the girl to guy ratio in my classes—the collaborative environment encourages me …
As I tweeted a few days back, one of the main reasons that I came to USC was in order to see more of the world. https://twitter.com/ZTakeo/status/310558953425739776 With my junior year winding down, I can honestly say that USC has fulfilled this desire. There’s no other way to describe USC other than global. With global initiatives across all of the …
One word that comes to mind when I try to describe USC and Viterbi is “engaging.” Throughout my college experience, USC has engaged me in all kinds of ways: Academically: Particularly in my upper division ISE courses, my professors have really drawn me into their subjects both in and out of the classroom. Many of my assignments are group projects, …
If I had to describe USC and my experience here as a student in one word, I would say “opportunity.” This was the main thing that attracted me to USC, and one thing that I have found to be true in my three years here. As a senior in high school I knew I wanted to go to school on …
One of the things I most remember about USC from my visits as a high school senior was learning about the Renaissance Scholars program. The staff and students I met described it as a way to honor students pursuing a combination of studies in widely separated fields. This intrigued me because although I was visiting USC as a prospective engineering …
Well, it’s finally here. Second semester senior year! This is definitely going to be a solid grand finale semester. I’m actually taking the most classes I’ve ever taken at once (6), they’re all engineering, and two are grad classes. Fun story: only two of those are actually required for me to graduate, I just wanted to squeeze as many cool …
This semester feels like it went by faster than any other I’ve had at USC! I can’t believe I’m about to be a second semester junior. I would have to say my biggest accomplishment and favorite part about this semester is increased involvement with my extracurricular activities. I was really committed to my job as a lifeguard, my sorority, and …
As the year progresses (and gets increasingly harder!), and as some of my friends are finding out that they will be studying abroad next semester, I can’t help but recall my own study abroad experiences in Madrid. Studying abroad was far and away one of the greatest experiences of my life. To any and all who are considering I would …
I never thought I would have time to study abroad due to my ROTC commitment and heavy course load until I heard about Viterbi’s Summer Overseas program. It’s the perfect length of time (6 weeks) and it’s conveniently in the summer! I’m super excited to apply for multiple reasons. USC has plenty to offer in terms of diversity (we enroll more international …
Hey guys! Lots has happened since last week, mostly I am on the hunt for what to do next summer. I worked at Abbott Laboratories this past summer and it was a blast. However, I think I have come to a crossroads for my Junior summer. There is the options to get another internship, go on Viterbi Study Abroad, or …
Goal for the summer: With a job offer already in hand (yay Microsoft!!!!!), my goal this semester is to be as stress free as possible. Though I’m taking a super heavy course load (for no particular reason), starting (possibly) robotics research, and trying this new thing called a social life, I’m stoked to stay stress free. Today’s worry: surrounds my …
Hey everyone! I hope you’re all having a FANTASTIC summer! I’d like to update you on what I’ve been up to! The Viterbi Summer Overseas Program that I was doing in Madrid ended a couple of weeks ago. The last week of the program was full of mixed feelings: stress over our Writing 340 final projects and packing, excitement to …
