Want to buy yourself a cake? A dozen donuts? Thai food from T.G.’s? Do it. From the words on Tom and Donna, “Treat yo’ self!”
There’s never a shortage of parties at The Row. But remember to always go with a group of friends and use the buddy system.
Get your exercise at the Lyon Center, your dorm’s fitness center, Cromwell track, or create your own workouts throughout campus.
My personal favorites: Bikini Hill, Doheny Library, and Parkside outdoor lounges.
Introduce yourself to your dorm-mates, apartment-mates, classmates, and people you meet around campus. It’s always nice to go outside and spot a friendly face no matter where you are.

Talk to the upperclassmen and see what building roofs they recommend. (Quick tip: be careful DPS doesn’t catch you)
Buy a coffee from the Trojan Grounds Starbucks, hang out at Bikini Hill and spend some time people watching.

Whether it is a work-study, off-campus, or on-campus job, having a few extra bucks always helps.
Football, golf, rugby, wrestling, soccer, baseball, track, etc. USC has an abundance of options; it’s hard to just settle on one or two!
