Hi all,

I wonder if a family of usc students is able to access/use Doheny Memorial Library.

It's just for studying some stuffs, not borrowing books.

Anyone know about this? or Do I need to do something to give my family an access permit?

Housing Affordable Apartments around campus for non-students/recent grads

5 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I’m graduating soon which means I’m getting kicked out of student housing. I really would love to stay in LA, but like the housing situation is so expensive. I know I can get roommates, but I’m first looking at where I can maybe get an affordable studio.

Are there any places around campus that are open to recent grads/non students that are lenient when it comes to like the income requirements (a lot of places ask for 2-3x the rent).

Edit: my budget is like 1800-2000 but like I don’t make 6k a month to get approved for the places that need 3x the rent lol

Thank you!

Other DPS alert for a stabbing

The alert that DPS released a couple of hours ago is the first time I've seen such a violent crime report from USC DPS. I've only been here a year though. For those who have more time here, how many stabbing reports have you seen? Stay safe.

Housing Too late for Housing (?) and other questions

1 Upvotes

hi all,

i am a junior (f) who has previously been commuting to usc for the past two years. however, i suspect my housing situation to change. i have two concerns, if anyone may give advice please lmk! these are stupid questions but im kind of lost

  1. im looking into apartments close to campus. as of now, is it too late to apply to apts for spring 2027? which ones are most recommended? i have also been trying to make an account with usc housing in case i could do anything on-campus but somehow i never get an email or verification code sent (?)
  2. about a litte over a year ago i had a traumatic back injury (on top of a previous ankle injury that is still recovering). i am still going to PT, pilates, and other rehab frequently throughout the week to recover. to be honest the only thing that kept me from moving close to campus sooner is the amazing PT facility near my house that I do feel dependent on, but i would rather come closer to campus still.

would anyone recommend PT through Keck? and are there any other facilities/physical rehab places that may be helpful? i will probably have my car with me so i don't mind driving.

i currently live about 30-40 mins away from campus but im quite exhausted by the daily commute and staying with my family

sorry for the long post! please comment if you have any advice. thank you all!

Academic BUAD 310 or BUAD 312?

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm a second year CSBA student and I was looking at my course plan for next semester and I saw that I need to take a stats class so I'm in between BUAD 310 or BUAD 312.

I know that BUAD 312 is taught in R but are there any major differences between the two courses and which one should I take?

My schedule for next semester includes ECON 352, CSCI 104, and BUAD 304 if that is something to consider. Thanks!
