University of Southern California (USC) 2017

[MicroRocks]

I didn't see a thread for USC, so I'll go ahead and start it! I'll be joining the Earth Science department in the Fall.

Where are people planning to live? I'm considering Palms/Culver City since it's so close to the light rail.

I'll be joining the MEB department at USC starting this fall!  I'm not sure about where I'll live, and I'm looking for roommates.

Hello,

I'll be attending ASE at USC! Not sure where to live yet but for sure will live on very tight budget. Thinking about the Jefferson area close to the expo line, but my spouse will attend UCLA extension so might need to find a happy medium.

Hello all!

Will be joining chemE at USC next fall. Also looking at Culver City/Ktown for places to live. Cost of living: looking for less than $1000 per month hopefully. Do you guys think we should make a facebook group?

Hi,

 I am going to join chemE too. Are you Phd Student or master?

 

[Imbroke828]

SadMan I am joining as a PhD student, what about yourself?

[SadMan]

Imbroke828,

I will be PhD student too. The rent is super high in LA. Did you check the dorms?

[Imbroke828]

Not yet, but I think I am going to look at cheaper housing further away. I talked to the departmental head yesterday and he said it's pretty difficult to get housing in the dorms as a graduate student.
