To all the incoming USC freshmen this guide may concern:
Welcome to the Trojan Family! You all have rightfully earned your spot here at USC and in one of the nation’s top engineering schools, the Viterbi School of Engineering.

Hey guys!
I would like to think that in my past three years at USC, I have grown wiser. As my junior year is wrapping up, I would like to pass on some helpful tips I have learned to incoming freshman.

Hey guys! I hope you all have had fun-filled weeks! I cannot believe there are only a couple more weeks left of this semester before summer.

I decided to break it up into two parts, half of which I would go car-camping, and the other traveling to Portland, Oregon. In retrospect this made my break very busy and let me really make the most out of the free week!
USC was always my dream school growing up. In fact, my 6th grade teacher told me that in 6th grade I said I was going to go to USC when I was older. So what was it that made me always want to come to USC?
