I did my undergrad at USC, Marshall School of Business and without a doubt the experience prepared me for a successful life-long career. Like most things in life, what you get out of it is up to you.

I decided to push my limits the last 2 years there, so I gravitated towards the harder courses offered. Before "Financial Engineering" was a widely used term, USC offered advanced financial management coursework to their undergrads that MBA's studied in other schools. The coursework was grueling, but I've drawn from those experiences nearly every day since I graduated.

USC instilled a sense of community, professionalism, pride and accomplishment giving me the confidence to successfully negotiate life on my terms. I lived off campus in the surrounding neighborhood and it wasn't an issue. I actually enjoyed the diversity.

If you're lucky to be chosen to attend USC, then I highly recommend you go. Most of all, have fun and enjoy the journey (attend all the sporting events and alumni networking, you'll never regret the time you spent at SC).
