the time spent for observing the 1st year student discussion session was long and boring. make us feel very stupid for being there sitting for about an hour, not making any noises and staring at those people constantly. even worse than watching the monkeys play in the zoo!

the black woman in the admission office is a monster! you will belive me once you see her. the financial person was so proud of the highest tuation they requist in the nation while i doubt if he is aware of the fact that usc is not the best school in the nation.
