University of Southern California
Sophomore international student; super excited to be at USC!
I'm a sophomore from Lima, Peru studying communications and sociology. I like to go out and spend time getting to know California, but at the same time love to read, watch movies and spend time by myself. I had never visited LA before move in and it has been a great surprise.

Describe your college experience
It was unexpected in the best way. I never saw myself living in the US or LA, but I'm having a great time. Classes are super interesting and living in campus has been great even tough it didn't quite go as planned. The school has been great in every way and I've made amazing friends.
Favorite class
Intro to Sociology - I always wanted to take a sociology class and it was everything I wished for. It really made me realize I wanted to persue it as a major.
Career goals
I want to work doing costumer research at marketing firms, merging my two majors.
Ideal way to spend a free night
Nothing beats going out to a party with friends, from getting ready together to the midnight snack coming back.
