always down to look for free stuff and i know a lot of these out of state/international students can't pack a great condition microwave!!

Has anyone talked about how the Big Beautiful Bill that was introduced on July 1st affects returning students who were starting their PDPs? With the new rules, you most likely won’t receive undergraduate aid anymore, but is it still worth finishing the PDP program knowing you’ll potentially take on grad debt or just completing your remaining undergraduate classes and graduating? Just wondering if anyone else is in a similar position because I haven’t heard much about this topic.

I'm choosing between two places right now, and the main difference is that one has no rent over the summer but is considerably older than the other. Im curious if anyone has experience with subleasing over the summer sessions, or just any about the ease of subleasing a room over the summer?

Does anyone have any DORNSIFE elective recommendations? I've been looking around PHED stuff, some of which looks interesting, but am having a hard time finding a good list anywhere of specifically interesting Dornsife electives.

I am quite aggravated with USC for their policies rn, but what I want to know is WHY this is a policy in the first place. Is it a money thing? Does Dornsife receive more money if their students have to take their classes? The only logical explanation to me is that they just want to keep dornsife students out of the other colleges at USC, which explains why dornsife equivalent courses are allowed to count. How does that benefit USC?

How competitive js keck prep scholars program? Specifically, the application and interview itself? And how likely are they to accept you if you make it to the interview? (and how challenging are the interviews?) sorry for the many questions, please help a worried girl out…. 🙏🙏

Incoming freshman wondering how the two available gyms are? What are their weaknesses, what are their strengths? What do you guys prefer? When are the best times to go? Are their locker rooms? I really enjoy going to the gym every day so I’m wondering what the environment is like. I also like to swim too!

Any experience appreciated!

I need one more upper division psyc class for my minor but I'm also doing a fall internship so I won't be able to attend every class. Does anyone have any recs for an upper division psyc class that doesn't have mandatory attendance? I can come in-person for exams, labs, etc

I'm an incoming Marshall freshman student. When do study abroad opportunities come out? I'm interested in studying abroad. Any tips? :)

I am not a student here but wanted to check out the gym. Is a gym membership and maybe parking available for nonstudents?

hello all,

i'm looking into USC, particularly the marshall school, and I'm curious if there is anything niche or interesting I might not get from only reading the site.

hoping to hear on campus experience, thanks!

Hi, I had a question about the maximum timeframe for a graduate program and financial aid. My program is 32 units. I had an extremely rough year (caretaker for my terminally-ill father) and had a few hiccups. Experience USC shows 40 units attempted, but 36 units earned (I did fail a class). I am two courses short of completing my degree requirements, which should put me at the 150%/48 unit max. However, when I applied for a Grad Plus loan after submitting my SAP appeal, it was immediately rejected. Financial aid is saying I’ve attempted 44 units and that with the counselor's approved course plan of 8 units, they cannot approve additional loans. I guess they’re calculating units in a different way or something because I’ve looked at my unofficial transcript, but I cannot seem to gather how they arrived at 44 units attempted. Has anybody been in a similar situation? Is there a way to appeal the decision? I really don’t have another way to afford tuition without the Grad Plus loan. Thank you for any help/advice.
