It is an incredible experience to be a graduate student in USC's Dworak-Peck School of Social Work. My professional ambition of being a professional mental health social worker is being nurtured from amazing course material, professor and classmates. I feel confident that I will succeed in my program and become a effective social worker for the community. The community is very welcoming and I am loving the experience of sharing knowledge and learning new knowledge that benefits us all. I enjoy learning from trailblazing faculty who emphasize the importance of social workers in society as mental health and social justice advocates. A bonus is how beautiful the campus looks so I enjoy every drive to my classes and study days!
Being a student at the University of Southern California is like no other. The campus is beautiful and the academics are stellar. The whole school feels like one big family. The athletic programs are top notch and really bring all the students together. I love being able to attend countless games while seeing cheering fans who truly love where they go to school. The best part about the University of Southern California is the Trojan alumni. With over 425,000 Trojan alumni in the world, you are always connected to a Trojan. The wonderful Trojan alumni are there for you beyond your four years. They give opportunities to advance in your desired career field, as well as be there in a new environment. No other university is this connected between current students and alumni. I am proud to attend USC, where academics, athletics and alumni blend together making the ultimate college experience!
Location is one of the best things about USC. The weather is generally really nice. Professors are a big key to what makes USC awesome. I've yet to encounter the stereotypical stuffy, monotone professor who makes you want to jump out the window. As for sports, I know our football team is great, but we are a pretty good school academically, too! Although I am not dorming, the dorms are top of the line. Commons can be a good place to hang out, if it's not too crowded or loud. My favorite place is one of the many cafes sprinkled around campus. You can watch news, do work, eat lunch, and enjoy the weather all at once. Although we're right near downtown Los Angeles, the area immediately surrounding USC's campus is not very safe. Hence, the walls and gates around the campus make you feel like you're in your own little bubble sometimes. School pride floods USC. Everyone has at least one USC shirt or sweatshirt.
