Describe your college experience
Coming to USC was definitely an adjustment for me, I was very homesick and still get homesick, but coming here allowed me to branch out and make so many new friends that I know I'll have for life.
Tip for future students
My tips for future students are simple, do not focus on partying here, do not stay up till 4 am every night and being late or skipping class, that will turn into a habit and your grades will tank, balance having fun and working hard.
Favorite class
U101 was definitely my favorite class because it truly allowed me to get to know good people and keep them close to me throughout college. It is a very helpful class and gives you many tips about the campus itself and some facts.
Career goals
My plan is to attend vet school and get my degree in veterinary medicine, and own my own exotic animal practice.
Ideal way to spend a free night
When it comes to a free night during the week, I usually will stay in my dorm, maybe go shopping, try to get ahead on some assignments, and make myself dinner and binge some Grey's Anatomy. When it's the weekend, my friends and I will either hit the town or go to our friends' apartment in Red Point to hang out with them.
