Re: USC Law Class of '19
Checking in visited campus recently and loved it.
What's the general consensus about no double depositing to keep scholarships? I've read some posts saying that schools have no way of knowing until around May-ish, when LSAC sends out that multi-depositers report. Seems a bit risky to me, but I'm still not done negotiating $$ yet and the deadline is coming up awfully soon...

Went for the admit tour day today and had a great time! Met lots of really friendly people and the overall vibe of the school definitely won me over. At this point it looks like I'm probably going to be a Trojan

Re: USC Law Class of '19
Can any current students comment on Terrace housing? I am from out of state and wasn't able to see it. We did drive past it but couldn't get a tour. It feels a little strange not being able to see the inside before leasing. Thanks!

Re: USC Law Class of '19
1L here. I enjoy living in Terrace. Comes with everything you would need to survive; Fridge, Stove, Oven, Furniture (couch, chair, kitchen table, desk, desk chair, full bed, dresser, nightstand, lamp, central A/C). It is also relatively close to Law School 20-30 minute walk.gtrs09 wrote:Can any current students comment on Terrace housing? I am from out of state and wasn't able to see it.

Area is very safe. At night there is a security guard posted on every block and the area is full of students most of the time.
Also you are going to be hard pressed to beat that rate for a furnished apartment around USC.

Re: USC Law Class of '19
Thank you for the insight. How competitive is it to lock in the terrace housing? If I apply after the deposit deadline (April 17), will it be too late? How much consideration is given to out-of-state students?averagewhiteguy wrote:1L here. I enjoy living in Terrace.

Re: USC Law Class of '19
Thanks for the response! I was able to speak with a student outside Terrace and she was very helpful. In regards to whether it's competitive, I called this week and got the feeling of anybody who is OOS that wants a spot will get it. It also seemed like nobody has submitted an application for housing yet.LetsGoNow wrote:Thank you for the insight. How competitive is it to lock in the terrace housing?

Thank you! Any idea as to parking availability? I saw that we had to work it out through transportation, but I was just wondering if there are generally enough spaces for occupants with cars.gtrs09 wrote:Thanks for the response!

Re: USC Law Class of '19
So for Terrace there are a limited amount of spaces. Make sure when you go through transportation you ask for the Terrace lot. I would recommend doing that ASAP because there are not many spaces.LetsGoNow wrote:Thank you! Any idea as to parking availability?

If you don't get Terrace parking they will put you in PSO (Parking Services One) which is over by the law school, which is a 20-30 minute walk.

Going to law day/diversity reception, too. Would love to meet up with any of you. I'm not staying at the recommended hotels - the rooms were already taken, so I'm staying downtown. Kind of nervous to navigate the area by myself.rhapsodelly wrote:Attending law day and the diversity event, looking forward to meeting everyone!

Re: USC Law Class of '19
Currently live/work in LA. It's actually pretty easy to get to USC from downtown. Get to the 7th street metro station, take the expo line (NOT the blue line, which leaves on the same tracks), and Expo Park/USC is the fourth stop. It takes 5-7 minutes to get to the law school once you get off the metro. I visited USC for the first time earlier this week, and the commute there was much easier than I had expected. The expo line leaves every 12-15 minutes, so as long as you plan your trip right, it should take you about 20 minutes to get there.genericwit wrote:Going to law day/diversity reception, too.

Re: USC Law Class of '19
All, congrats on your acceptance to sc.
I have the following 0L books that I would to give away to anyone who is matriculating in the fall at Gould. They are available to pick up during law day weekend, either on campus or dtla. They are offered only to people who are joining the trojan family in the fall. One supplement per person, please. And the account must have at least 100 posts (to distinguish alts). Please do not pm, as I would have to cross-check and it would be harder for me to keep track; instead, please post below which one you would like.
1. Getting to Maybe
2. Law School Confidential
3. LEEWS CD set
4. The Eight Secrets of Top Exam Performance in Law School
5. Strategies and Tactics for the First Year Law Student
You guys can pick them up either on Law Day or when school starts.
I will also be giving out a ton of 1L supplements. I will post them at a later date in this thread. I also have outlines that I can give out. But I will only share the outlines around two weeks before school starts.

Re: USC Law Class of '19
You can compare prices with uber, but the metro costs $1.75 for a trip and $1 for getting a new card. Transfers are free for two hours, but round trips don't apply. Nextbus.com is pretty reliable for arrival times, but I would plan on arriving 2 mins in advance of the train arrival time. Actually, plan to get to the station 5+ minutes in advance because 7th street station is pretty busy and might be a little confusing the first time around. Just remember that the Blue/Expo lines are on the upper level, and the Red/Purple lines are below.LetsGoNow wrote:+1.

As for the downtown area, I would recommend staying west of Spring and north of 4th. Further south/east is a little too close to skid row.

Re: USC Law Class of '19
I guess I can strike that requirement. Yeah these supplements are no longer useful for me. They're up for grabs for people who are matriculating or very close to matriculating (more than 80% sure). (But not for people who are thinking of going to the "rival school.") And I guess people can pm me due to AOs who might be lurking..genericwit wrote:Too bad I'm not at the post number.
