Thoughts on USC Food Pantry

Last time I went, line was pretty long and I had class so I was unable to stand in line. What has been your experience if you’ve gone or what are your thoughts? Best time to start making line?

aaa application

planning on applying for aaa for spring 2025 and wanted to ask what the application process is like, how the timeline of when applications open and when we here back is, and how competitive is it(like do most people who meet the reqs end up getting it or is it hard to get). also, this is my first semester at usc so how would that go in terms of applying since i don’t have a gpa yet, do i have to wait until after finals to apply and does applying later hurt my chances. any info would be great!

Can I switch masters programs in Viterbi?

Hi yall, I was recently admitted into USC MS Applied Data Science for Spring 2025. During my time waiting for a decision, I decided that it would be better if I did an MSCS with a data science/machine learning track instead. Is it possible to switch programs in Viterbi?

How did a business degree from USC help you in becoming an entrepreneur?

I am a new transfer student at USC. My goal is to have my own business someday. I have been grappling with my class schedule because I feel like my classes are not focusing on the preparation needed for being an entrepreneur. I was excited to apply to USC because they offer an entrepreneurial emphasis for undergraduate students. I came to find out that this entails taking 3 entrepreneurial emphasis electives. I would really love to take more entrepreneurial classes to help prepare me for the start up process and the knowledge needed to manage a business. My question is…how has your degree helped you in starting up your own business and/or helping you develop the mindset of an entrepreneur? Do you feel like it was worth the time, money and effort to get a business degree as an entrepreneur? Did the Trojan network help you? I am feeling conflicted at the moment because my classes this semester are not what I envisioned. I would love to hear from any USC graduates on how your undergraduate business degree helped you as an entrepreneur. Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Looking for Tamil/Malayalam/English Churches in LA

Hey everyone!

I’ve just moved to the U.S. this fall to join USC, and I’m new to the LA area. I’m looking for Tamil/ Malayalam/ English speaking churches around here—preferably CSI, Pentecostal, or Non-denominational.

If anyone has any suggestions or knows of any, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks in advance!

UCSD student requesting help with USC recruitment event

Hey y'all! I'm a UCSD student, and I'm interested in the upcoming on-campus recruitment event for Hypergryph, on 10/15/24.

I know this is a long shot, but would someone be willing to attend it for me and take notes (and pick up any merch that they're giving away)? Of course, I'd be willing to pay for the help. I would really appreciate it! I'm a huge fan of Hypergryph's games, but unfortunately, I'm unable to attend this event as a UCSD student.

Mods: I'm new here, so please feel free to take this down if this breaks any rules. Apologies in advance!

Advice for FBE 421

Have an exam soon specifically for Scott Abrams. Do you think the practice exam and prep given out by him are enough to do well on the exam? Really don't feel like going through 20 hours of lecture recordings. If anyone has taken his class before any advice on prepping?

music at mccarthy

Is anyone in mccarthy hearing music at night sometimes? Like thumping/drums and guitar noises?

It sounds like it's coming from outside maybe but I don't see anything and it's driving me crazy.

Short answer question: dream career?

So I was going about my day writing my essays, and for this short question I put a "fake" career (being a princess, monster hunter, etc). But my college counselor says she advises against these kind of non-realistic responses. Should I change it to my realistic career?

Any labs looking for Research Assistants?

I am seeking research opportunities at any lab in USC, including NLP, CV, or data analysis. I am open to other roles like web development/app development. I tried mailing several of them but have not received a response from anyone. I have applied for things whenever it was posted on handshake or newsletter, yet the same results. Is there a better way to look out for opportunities 😭. I would love to know if you have any tips on this...

How strict is pre engineering?

If you got all As or A-s, except one course where you got a B- on one of the pre engineering courses. Could you still get accepted? Anyone have some personal stories about this.

Seeking past syllabus for MATH 542: Analysis of Variance and Design

Sorry folks, I tried emailing the math department but they are not getting back to me. Does anyone have a copy of the syllabus for this course (even an older one), or do you know which professor I could contact directly?

I just need an overview so I can discuss it with my academic advisor. (I'm an education PhD student, but I have a math degree so I'd like to take something more rigorous and proofy than our Multiple Regression course.)

Thanks and bless 🙏

Hey guys!

We’re a small student group at USC and planning a mixer soon, but we’re on a tight budget. We’re looking for some cool, affordable spots around LA for 10-15 people. Any suggestions for restaurants, breweries, that won’t break the bank but still have good food and a chill vibe?

Open to anything—just trying to find something fun and budget-friendly. Appreciate any help!
