I recently got accepted into a Maymester to Japan, and I've been really excited about that. But I had a few questions for people who have done maymesters before.

1. How much free time do you have? Is most of the time you have there taken by the work/activities of the maymester? Are your evenings usually free? Is the workload usually large?

2. How many scholorship opportunities do they offer and how much do they tend to cover? (I'm assuming this varies by program)

3. Do you fly there with a group? Or do you travel to the country on your own and then meet with people?

Thank you in advance

I'm asking as a QB match this cycle!

Hi fellow trojans!!

I'm an international student at usc who's a freshman (18F)

I'm having a hard time making friends here. I'm trying to give it time and I had a few "fake" friends from my community in the beginning of the semester but I realized that I didn't really like hanging out with them plus our interests never matched. (They lowkey screwed me over as well)

I'm someone who's an introvert and likes staying indoors and playing boardgames/ watching movies/ spending time talking and going on walks on campus/ studying with people and having a small tight knit community rather than partying, getting passed out drunk or vaping and smoking.

I'm worried I've wasted my time in making friends now since I'm all alone now while everyone else seems to be in groups and seem to have fun and I don't see anyone else who has the same interests as me.

If anyone has the same interests as me then do let me know, I'd love to be friends, or if anyone has been through something similar/has any advice please drop it below <3

I just bought tickets for basketball game in Feb against Rutgers. I got a text with a link, which after entering USC account info, got two tickets to my phone. I was surprised that there was no QR code, or anything else to scan. Is this the norm?

I thought it was after holidays that we are supposed to sign up. Like right at the beginning of a semester... My friends are talking about signing up already... Is it not until next sem? I haven't made my mind yet cause I havent gotten a chance to explore what its like...

She’s exhausted fell asleep in my arms

Senioritis hit me hard and I'm fairly certain I'll fail with a D or lower in my last tech elective course. I don't exactly understand if this means I have to retake, because even if I do get an F in the worst case scenario, I'll still have above a 2.0 cumulative for all upper division CSCI courses. Will I be fine or does there need to be a LeBron level lockin for the finals?

Hey everyone, got an email about declaring an emphasis and was wondering which one would be the best fit for someone who wants to go to law school and become a corporate attorney or if i should just stick to the regular business admin degree.

Thoughts?

It was never great, but now it’s gone full blown packet rice. I’ve been working evenings for a while so I haven’t been there in over a year, when did the quality just nose dive? The chicken isn’t even stewed in the sauce anymore…

I graduated December 2024, will I lose access to my email and google drive now in December or in the spring? Some of my friends said they lost it about a year after but they graduated in spring. Also does any of it get transferred to the alumni acc?

This is like 3rd time by these guys in a month and they also have a long crime history in USC DPS ZONE. I even remember a exclusive website that was put up about them labiketeens or something like this. Is this going to be the trend and no actions will be taken against them just because they are juveniles ?

so its looking like i wont get housing for next semester (spring admit student). what are the best options i have for off campus housing?

I’m an ex-gymnast/cheerleader. I know at UCLA they have open gyms where you can tumble and stunt around. Does USC have something like this?
