University of Southern California (USC) Campus

The Von Kleinsmid Center is a popular place to hold freshman seminars. It's divided into two sectors and the bathrooms are in really weird areas. The men's restroom and the women's restroom are in different sectors from each other. Talk about inconvenience. Other than that though, this is a wonderful building to explore and catch cool views from. Plus, it is on the right side of McCarthy Quad.

USC Village - favourite students' place

Alumni Park is one of our main quad's here on campus and is nick-named "The most Instagramed spot on Campus".

Another tour of McCarthy Quad because it's really the only one on campus but this time done by my friend Nico!

The USC Village is probably my favorite place to hang out on campus. Opened on August 17, 2017, the students on campus right now are the first to live in the Freshman Honors College, McCarthy, as well as our upperclassmen housing. On top of having our own Target and Trader Joe's equipped especially for the needs of college students, we also have an Amazon shipping store with free supplies, and a FedEx office. As for food, though The Village does not accept dining dollars yet, places like Dulce, Wahlburgers, and CAVA are always filled with hungry students. If that's not L.A. enough for you, try visiting our surf shop, SOFKY, indulge in a pedicure at The Nail Garden, or pick up a Solé bicycle.

Here are some fun activities right across the street from USC, as well as some suggestions to access other which might be further away.

At Doheny Memorial Library, students hunker down for finals and complete assignments.

At USC, athletics are huge! In the fall, football game days govern social calendars, and students fill up the stadium to watch USC football, basketball, track, and other sports.

Inside the Annenberg School of Communication

Inside the gym, students are working out at the machines on the first floor, playing basketball or working out on mats on the second floor, and swimming in the aquatic center.

This is USC's "walk-in trophy case", displaying the sports history of our university.

This was going to be a tour of my favorite secret courtyard on campus but it turned into a talk on campus safety and how it feels transitioning from a small town to LA!

Training Field at USC

Students in the Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism have many of their classes in this building, which boasts a fully-stocked newsroom and opportunities in broadcast, print, and radio journalism.

This is a popular hang-out spot on campus!
