USC Fall 2009 (2 Viewers)

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!

Guys, it's hard to follow you. I spend 24 hours away and I'm, what, 3 pages behind?

Congratulations on the ones accepted (apparently, no one from writing yet, who are only getting rejections so far...) It's really said to read the rejections posts.

My status is still the same, but my 3-year-old niece has accidentally killed her 3-month-old rabbit yesterday (well, thought I should share SOME news!) :D

Heu, Nev.

Don't think it's a bad idea to think positively.
I was wondering about our situation, and so I've created the Topic USC's LIMBO. Tha't our place, boyz and girlz who have nothing else but wondering about the meanings of life...

Is there Wendy's in LA? Because if not I may have to rethink my whole life and decide not to do film school. I can't leave my beautiful girlfriend Wendy. She always satisfies my hunger when I need it the most. :)

i actually witnessed a gang fight in that wendy's. about three weeks ago. i kid you not. my buddy michael was eating his chili cup (which I thought was ridiculous) when all of a sudden a surge of yelling, a flutter of long-shirted baggy-pantsed bodies, and dull thuds of combat. welcome to usc kids.

Yeah, USC is in a pretty ghetto area of LA. The campus is beautiful but one block off campus and be prepared to drop at any moment. I always feel a little unsafe whenever I walk around the side streets surrounding USC where my USC friends live.
 
Most of the time it's fine, but in the wee hours of the morning, and whenever you're alone it has a scary feeling. The gang fight felt a little more like a high school cafeteria skirmish than anything really dangerous. There was so much smack-talk and bros chanting for blood.

Oh I'll be storing their numbers if I go there, all right. If you know what I mean (wink wink). lol

Campus Cruisers is a really funny name for these people, isn't it? I don't think they thought that one out fully.
 
North University Park doesn't scare me, especially closer to Hoover, but I don't like being on foot on Figueroa at night, and I hate going to Togo's (though I love it so) because I don't like Vermont for some instinctive reason.

Ironic, because Hoover is where the gangland Wendy's is!

Honestly, my primary annoyance near campus is obnoxious school children screaming at each other in the Wendy's or the BK on their lunches and stuff. They're possibly more annoying than my classmates and I were when we were 14 and thought we ruled the world.

Or else I'm just becoming a geezer...

I always feel completely safe on campus. Walking around the old building after midnight, being at Leavey at all hours, none of that ever felt weird, felt like home. (I grew up in a town built around a college.)
 
I stayed on North Vermont when I interviewed for Stark and it was SUPER shady, hahaha.

The campus was really nice, I have to say. I think it would be safe, as long as you are aware of your surroundings and you don't do anything stupid.
