The University of Southern California

I was hoping to go to a good college, but I was wrong. USC may have a big reputation, but the academic environment isn't as strong as the Ivies and even the U of California campuses. Students at SC can be arrogant and snoby because a lot of them come from high-income families. They are self-absorbed in the greek system, binge drink and exclude you from conversation if you're not a part of a fraternity. Many of these frats and soririties are dominated by white students, which promotes the racist atmosphere USC use to have. I confirm this because my uncle was denied acceptance into a frat at USC in the 1950s. I am also disappointed because there are plenty of foreigners who can't proper English in the engineering school. I think USC was a waste of money (lots of money!). The majority of the students are very trashy. It's hard to find a true friend at this school. Only a few students I know take their education seriously. In fact one of my friends transferred to Berkeley because she was sick and tired of the materialistic atmosphere at SC. I wish I followed her.
