It was the most reputed and highest ranked college out of all the colleges I was admitted to.
Course Curriculum
Very relevant and up to date for today. Effectively marries international relations with business and also leaves room for flexibility. Plenty of research opportunities on campus.
Exams
For my application, I had to submit, 1 general essay and 3 LoRs. In addition to this, I had to complete 2 supplement essay. In my general essay, I wrote about how my academic struggles in middle school and how I overcame them. For the supplemental essays, I wrote about why I was so eager to study at USC. I got LoRs from two of my school teachers who described the experience of teaching me and I got another LoR from the boss of an institute where I interned in the summer.
Placement
Alumni networking is very strong and they are very open to helping recent undergraduates finding a job. USC's career center invites employers to give talks to students on a weekly basis and we also have career fairs that happen twice or thrice a semester.
Events
There are so many diverse student organizations that you can join. Everything ranging from consulting clubs to surfing and rowing clubs. We also have a rocket propulsion lab, which attracts many undergraduate researchers.
Fees
60000
Scholarship

Faculty
The faculty to student ratio is 8:1. They are distinguished academics with significant experience in teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Taking Professor Najmedin Meshkati's engineering diplomacy class in freshman year played a big role in making me realize the importance of interdisciplinary education.
Hostel
Yes, the facilities are excellent and there are plenty of options to live in a single/double/triple dorm room or suite. The cost of accommodation is in the range of $4000-$7500 and varies based on which residential hall is assigned to you.
